Maternal worries

Hi everyone, hoping I’ve posted in an appropriate topic. Bit unsure.

I’m hoping for a bit of guidance, this is a tricky one. I’m currently pregnant with my second, this will be my mums 4th grandchild. My mum loves loves babies and children however she had a hysterectomy due to endometrial cancer and since then she said she just feels empty. She will love this baby to death but just said she doesn’t have the excitement she felt with the others and it’s breaking her heart. She’s heartbroken that it feels her maternal instincts and feelings have just vanished since the hysterectomy. Has anyone else had a mother or female family member go through the same after the surgery? We understand hormones are non existent now and think it may be that which she is going to talk to her gynaecologist about. Just curious to see if anyone else has been through this and if there was a positive outcome for the other person.
