My Mom has end stage heart failure and she just wrings her hands all the time, even when seeming to sleep.

IMO it's a sensory issue. It's just a calming feeling.

She is washing her hands of this earth and will soon reach toward heaven (old wives tale)

I've never heard of that. Are her hands cold? Could cotton gloves help warm them? Are they dry, and need lotion? I bet it's kind of distressing for you to see that and wonder if she's afraid or in pain. Can you ask her when she's awake?
