Kitchenaids don't detach to use as a handheld, and it would be
too heavy for comfortable use even by someone who's wrists were in
good shape. In fact, I think a handheld mixer is probably a
bad idea in general for someone with wrist strength problems.

A bigger KA, or as you suggested, divide the batter into two
batches that will fit in the one she is using.
