I legitimately feel crushed. I don't want my mom to feel stressed or anxious. I want her to be happy and content, and maybe she will get all of that by making the change, who knows...
But... I'm also thinking what if she made the wrong decision? What if she will come to regret it? What if she will feel incredible pressure and stress? What if shell be miserable? What if I should have asked her tough questions before she made the decision????
I hate change. I'm terrible with it, and I'm sure I'm projecting a lot.

It's normal to feel a little worried and saddened when you make a major life change like the one your mom is making. However, she still felt the desire to make that change, even if there were risks involved. I think you're right that you're projecting your own hatred of change onto her. She was ready to do something new, and perhaps she was feeling pent up from staying in her old position for too long. Maybe she would've regretted not having tried.
I think you need to trust your mom. She knows what she wants. And if things don't work out, then know that you'll be there to help her if she needs help.
