<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

This is a throwaway for what will be obvious reasons.

My mom is suffering from a severe and eventually deadly form of cancer.  Throughout all of the surgeries and chemo she's been strong and is the anchor of my family.  Recently, however, I noticed that she is starting to become depressed - not because of her illness, but because of her inability to "do things" anymore.  

Raising her children was always her job, and over the years the only other hobby she ever cultivated was gardening.  Now, other than the random short trips the garden to weed, she doesn't have the strength to do the one thing that always brought her joy.  She's slowly becoming more inactive, and sleeps constantly.  I'd like to stress that this is from her depression, not from her cancer.

I suffer from severe depression myself and have tried to give her a few words of her own advice, to no avail.  I live far away from her and recently I had thought to start sending her care packages full of activities that she could do inside the home, but the only thing I could come up with is something to do with bonzai trees.  I already suggested drawing, painting, puzzles, knitting, etc, etc, only to be shot down by her.

Anyway, what I'm looking for is ideas for activity packages I can send her to help her get interested in doing things again.  I don't really want her to know that I'm sending them and I even thought that if I overwhelmed her with things I already suggested, perhaps she would try doing them to occupy her time anyway.
<bot>: My mom is getting depressed because she can't garden anymore, what can I send her to help her become active again?
