.12 GA is the answer:

Mossberg 500 with reduced recoil 00 buckshot would be the choice in my opinion. Multiple follow up shots are available if needed and its pretty hard to miss with 00 buck. Bottom line, he needs to leave it near the head of the bed (in a corner, etc) but where it can be accessed immediately. Your Mom will just have to get used to it if she wants to be secure/safe. No kids, no worry. If company comes over, she can put it in the closet. The rest of the time, keep in the bedroom near the bed, (loaded)...

well, first off, take them BOTH SHOOTING. after having both of them shoot at least 3 magazines full out of your gun, take them home and let them think about what just happened. specificly, tell them that you want to talk to them in two days about their shooting experience. then, after you find that out, tell them you want to think about one more question. ask them both to think about it and let you know. ask them to honestly answer if they could take another persons life if they were forced to defend them selves. if they answer no. the discussion is over. if they could not use it, all they are going to do is arm a person who would use it against them. if one, or hopefull both of them think they could use it, then take them shopping for one that they feel is comfortable to them. just becasue your gun feels good to you, their old hands may need something else. good luck with your situation. i hope you can help them help themselves.
