One month shouldn't matter but don't delay as the effectiveness would be over and she may start her symptoms again.

1Week gap is enough to reinsert mirena. Mirena releases a medicine named levonorgestrel which is absorbed in the blood and maintains a steady blood level to keep her symptoms under control. as it is taken out blood levels start dropping and symptoms may revert. so needs to be reinserted as soon as possible.
