Sorry to hear about this. I hope her mother will get better soon.

Is she a non visa or visa national?

Extending a six months visitors visa is not possible (used to be under very exceptional circumstances only). You can however, again under some circumstances, apply to switch to a different category.
Info is here: http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/visiti ... gyourstay/

so how can she extend her visa which FORUM should she use to extend
it and what documents . thanks

She cannot use a FORUM to extend her stay. She should use the FLR(O) FORM if she believes she may qualify.

2. DISCRETION OUTSIDE THE RULES FOR LEAVE TO REMAIN BEYOND SIX MONTHS

Leave to remain beyond the six month maximum period should only be granted in the most exceptional compassionate circumstances such as the illness of a close relative (see the instruction relating to "Carers").
