Hi Joe,
What I'm learning from my own experiences is that you should accept this as a sign and don't waste time questioning it. Accept that you communicated with your mother by asking her for a sign, and that she communicated with you by giving you that sign. Accept that a dead clock began working and that you (and your wife) noticed it. If you accept this sequence of events as being a sign, then you are beginning to open yourself up to more ability to communicate this way, and new ways will find a way to become part of the process.
One way you could prove to yourself that the clock was associated to you asking for a sign, is to notice how soon after you asked did the clock begin working? Can you remember what you were thinking, feeling, and doing at the moment you decided to communicate with your mother? In other words, was there a specific feeling associated with this moment? Did you perhaps have a question on your mind about your mother?
And at the moment you noticed the clock to begin working, what were you thinking, feeling, and doing then? Is there something specific about that? And is it anything that you can associate to what you were doing or feeling when you asked for a sign?
What I'm learning about all of this, is that the phenomenon of the dead clock working isn't what's important, but what is important is that it got your attention. Sometimes our thoughts flow through us so fast we never pay much attention to a process they make. Signs can be a way of guiding us to notice the process of our thoughts, and leading us to an answer about something we're wondering.
A simple example might be this. Let's say that when you asked for the sign, you were wondering if your mother is happy where she is. Maybe you wonder this all the time or maybe you were just wondering it at that one moment. Even if you had no specific reason for wanting a sign, it could be that the sign was given to you as a way to bring your attention back to your wondering if she is happy or not. Noticing the sign (the dead clocking working) is a way for your mom to communicate to you that she got your message.
I find that when we are open to this kind of communication, we usually get more information than what we thought we asked for. So if there is some feeling or thought that passed through your mind at the time you noticed the clock begin working (or even when you noticed it stop working), then it could be associated to the answer to something you were feeling or wondering when you asked for the sign.
Does that make sense?
Simply put, though, I would assume that getting a sign like this is simply your mom's way of letting you know she got your message and she's answering your request for a sign. There may not be more to read into it, but I'm finding out through my own experiences that when you learn how to look at the process, you'll find there is more there than what's on the surface. My belief about this is that once we allow ourselves to be open to guidance and communication, "they" over there take the opportunity to give us a little more than what we asked. However, it is up to us to notice.
