ORIGINAL: Rule That is a lot of emotion. Rationally, the harm to your mother was undetermined. Most likely her condition was either not serious, or she was dead. Unless you are a physician or have other medical qualifications, likely you getting there a few minutes earlier would not have made any difference in the condition of your mother. Whereas you by speeding would pose a serious risk to yourself and others. Like the OP, you should have called an alarm number / 911 and let them do the speeding. Uhh not so, not serious. A stroke can be very serious, and the sooner you get medical help, the more likely full recovery is. And that is just one example. There are many more.
