Zero communication from medical team

Hi, I am just a daughter that has entirely lost a mother (57) due to this illness. Living far from her .

I was the one who had to take her involuntary to the hospital after their lives being at risk, and she stayed there for 3 weeks. I took care of all finances, my little brother and herself entirely. I put her in the hands of a medical team , that at least attempted to communicate/inform me. I left to my city as I had to return to work, having mom compliant with her meds and things left organized. A month later she stopped them entirely and blocked absolutely every single person in her life including me, my brother blocked everyone as well.

The case manager was at least a bit communicative with me until January, where he stopped entirely answering any phone call or text from me. Last call he said he had zero concerns for my mom and little brother and they seemed completely fine to him and he would have to confirm if mom wants me to know about them.

How is this real? I was so close to my mom and my brother , we were one! I cannot explain my pain. I know nothing about them now, not sure if they're alive, no access to them. My only source of information to know if they were safe was the case manager. Why do I not even get a text saying: your family is safe? That's all I've asked !

There won't be enough years in this life for me to recover from this pain . I'm not sure what I'm looking for , but if anyone knows my rights as the closest family member? (I'm in Canada for context )I tried to save them and I've just summarized here how far I went . I even fought with social services so that they did not take her son away. How is this real? How painful this can be and I'm sorry for each one of us family members dealing with this.
