Explanation

Distraught means very upset, worried, or agitated. After someone's mother dies, they would naturally be deeply distressed and upset. Dreadful means very bad, downtrodden means oppressed, downright means complete, and disturbing means worrying - none capture the emotional state of grief as well as distraught.
