I know my mom would support my choice but not openly. Would it be okay if I asked on here a way i can ask my mom for support. I had One attempt all ready but I got anxiety that I might have done it wrong. I could really use somebody who could that can tell me if I'm doing something wrong before it's too late.

As far as I know it's illegal in America to assist in any way in a suicide. Suicide itself is illegal but if you do it right how can they charge you. Do your research and ask people here your questions. I'm just concerned if your mom would get into trouble after you're gone.

It's only my opinion, but there's a world apart between a parent accepting a descendant's suicide and passively (or even actively) contributing to it. Not knowing your situation, cannot judge, but I would start to ask myself what kind of "gift", gesture, memory you want to let behind your act.
Maybe some sorrow, love and understanding can be shared valuably while alive, by opening up about your intentions (only you know)... However, it may increase for your mom the stress from anticipation, not knowing when you'll proceed, and also put her to face possible legal trouble if there's assistance that leaks. It's not more guaranteed that she wants to learn about the details (only you know about her sensitivity and strength to handle this info in the long distance).
If there's a chance that it leads to help, open up
If the goal is purely technical, I would prefer to ask somebody else than close family ...Unless, you're in a very specific situation where there's evidence that no other choice will ever be possible (like long term struggle or incurable disease), known in advance as bound to happen between both of you. Then, be cautious how you help each other and try to apply your own judgement not to take advantage of the sympathy.
In the end, you say very little about your situation in order for people to give custom advice
