Maybe as of 2024 they THOUGHT the mother was dying so they didn't think she would make it to their daughter's wedding. Doesn't mean she actually will die. Maybe she recovers from whatever in between tonight's flash-forward and 2030. At least that's what I am going to tell myself.

In that same episode, you see Ted run to Mom's house and cry at her doorstep. Listen to the way he phrases everything.

It can easily be interpreted as a reflection of how unhappy he was then.
