It's not literature but maybe you can find the screenplay of the film Mother and Son. Or you could just watch the film. Directed by Aleksandr Sokurov. Also the film Murmur of the Heart by Louis Malle.

Arthur Schnitzler: "Frau Beate und ihr Sohn"
In Search of Lost Time. Reading it makes me miss my mother like crazy
Patrick Pearse, poet figurehead for the 1916 Uprising in Ireland had a strong relationship with his mother and penned one of the most famous poems in Ireland.
It is interesting that the old woman is the national personfication of Ireland and is often portrayed in literature as a mother who sees her sons fight in her honour to retain her land from the foreigner
"The Mother"
I do not grudge them: Lord, I do not grudge
My two strong sons that I have seen go out
To break their strength and die, they and a few,
In bloody protest for a glorious thing,
They shall be spoken of among their people,
The generations shall remember them,
And call them blessed;
But I will speak their names to my own heart
In the long nights;
The little names that were familiar once
Round my dead hearth.
Lord, thou art hard on mothers:
We suffer in their coming and their going;
And tho' I grudge them not, I weary, weary
Of the long sorrow-And yet I have my joy:
My sons were faithful, and they fought
