While I don’t know of such a movie off-hand, I found a pretty close match in the 2004 film, “Suckerfish.” Courtesy of IMDB, here is the synopsis:

“When she was ten, Lisa Jackson fled Toronto to live with relatives in Vancouver to escape her mother’s depression, alcoholism and prescription drug abuse – legacies of the residential school experience. Now, sifting through her memories and her mother’s letters, she constructs a portrait of a mother whose drive to love her daughter triumphed over her demons of addiction. Animation, childhood photographs and stylized recreations add the young child’s whimsical voice to this moving, at times humorous, look at the director’s relationship to her mother and native identity.”

Not sure if the mom actually dies or if that’s even the one you’re looking for, but if it isn’t, try this:

IMDB allows you to search all of the plot synopses by keyword. I found “Suckerfish” by searching for “mother daughter letters.” Maybe you know some better keywords to search for (name of a city or actress or director or something) that could help pare down the results…
