I need some child/adult relationship advice. Me and my mother.

My mom lost her husband, my step dad, in April. She is currently still living in the house he died in and hasn’t really tried to do anything besides helping my grandparents and babysitting my nephew. How can I help her? How can I help her find something to do without making it seem like she has to do it.

I suggest just inviting her to join you for different things and not pressure her or be upset if she prefers not to. Having said that, sometimes it helps when you are in a slump if someone gives you a little nudge.
