I am so sorry to hear about your current situation.
Loosing Mummy pig is hard, although sadly it is not uncommon.
As for the babies I am not an expert (one will be online later) but I don't think you should be syringe feeding them - it is better to let them suck milk off the end of a small paint brush instead.
There is a basic guide here on dealing with orphaned babies as well as link sot further information;

If the babies are not doing well then is it possible to take them to vet and see if they could care for them for a few days.
Caring for orphaned newborns is a 24 hour a day job, so to give yourself a break it might be best to seek some support with this.
I hope some of that helps and good luck with the babies.
