Is it acceptable for a married man to sleep beside his mother, cuddle her, or kiss her face, especially when his mother expects him to spend nights in her room and involves him in activities like back massages and Hajama appointments?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

Men and women, mahram or non-mahram, must always observe boundaries between each other. With mahram, the boundaries are less, but there still are boundaries. 

Most of what you have mentioned in your question is crossing the boundary, or should be avoided, so as to not all into haram. 

We cannot say he might have incestuous tendency, but it is not normal behaviour for a son to sleep right beside his mother and spend nights in her room, etc. He might have more feminine tendency, hence these activities, but it is also his mother to be responsible for this as well. 

I would advise someone have a talk with both of them, about boundaries, and the possible shaytani influence that could corrupt anyone.

And Allah knows best
What is Islam's stance on children who pass away in the womb during early pregnancy before 12 weeks or as a fully formed baby? Could you provide insights on this issue from a Shia perspective, including relevant references?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Children who pass away in the womb must be dealt with according to Islamic rules depending on the age of the embryo. If the embryo was less than four months of pregnancy, then there is no Ghusl, nor Kafan, nor Namaz Mayyit, but just to be put in piece of cloth and to be buried. If the age of the embryo is four months or more then it must given ritual washing (Ghusl) then Kafan, then to be buried with out Namaz Mayyit.

These are the rituals , but on the hereafter, children of Muslims will be looked after by Sara, wife of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). They will be invited to enter Paradise, they will reply: I enter Paradise with my parents.

As a Muslim revert, can I attend my mother's funeral if it is officiated by a member of her Mormon church, given that she is close to passing away?

You can attend your mother's funeral but with out taking part in any un Islamic worship.

My mother has been diagnosed with cancer, and I am looking for specific Duas or prayers to help in her recovery from this illness. Can you suggest any Duas for cancer patients?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Many Quranic verses are very useful in this matter e,g (WA ITHA MARIDHTU FAHOWA YASHFEEN) وإذا مَرِضتُ فَهُوَ يَشفين

Tis verse is in Sura Al-Shu'araa, verse 80.

Repeating it is very useful.

Wassalam.
