My moms childhood best friend might pass tonight. I feel selfish for saying I’m not ready to be an emotional sponge for my mom, but it feels like I barely have the capacity to handle my own emotions let alone my mom losing her childhood friend. I’m all fucked up from childhood mental warfare and gaslighting. I handle my emotions with weed, what am I gonna do say “here mom you want to hit this vape?” I’m sorry I hope I don’t sound like a sociopath.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with telling your friend "I do not have the capacity to help during this time, do you have others in your support system who can help you at this moment"?.
I get what you're saying about not wanting to be an emotional sponge. My husband has PTSD and it's really hard to be around him sometimes. Can your mom afford therapy? Or maybe find a support group for her? That way she has a healthier outlet for her feelings and it's not all on you.
I don't smoke but maybe you should offer your mom your vape. My mother always reminded me she lived through the sixties...
