Your mother's ' (waiting period) begins on the 18th of Rabi' al-Akhir at the exact time of your father's passing. She will complete the month of Rabi' al-Akhir and three lunar months thereafter (Jumada al-Ula, Jumada al-, Rajab). Then, she will complete from Sha'ban whatever makes Rabi' al-Akhir a full thirty days. By doing so, she would have completed four months. To this, she adds ten days, ending at the exact same time your father passed away.
