My strongest sympathies. Your mother is a brave women. I'm certain all of you have her strength. God Bless you all.
As far as dropping out of school, don't do it unless it's absolutely necessary. If you have to work, go to school at night. Get your degree and you won't have to worry about $ as much.
Good luck with your decision.

I am extremely sorry to hear this, and Im sorry I didnt post before giving you my prayers for your mom.
You might find this hard to believe, but I know how you feel. Last June, I lost my mom to stomach cancer. She had it for only six months and then died. She was only 55. It was the shock of my life from beginning to end. Everyday was a constant battle of whether shed feel good or not or even survive. She had a lot of strength all up until the end. Sometimes cancer cant be beat no matter how much you fight, it all depends on fate. My mom left my dad and I all alone with all the bills..but I never considered leaving school because my mom never wanted me to do that. Im sure your mom wouldnt want that either. Keep going to school, get a part time job and help that way. Once you graduate school and get a job youll be able to provide more for your family. It was hard getting used to paying all the bills at home and as well as having the money and it still sometimes is at my house. Itll be worth it in the end though.
Your mom is definitely in a better place, whether you want her there or not. She endured all she could and you should be proud and think of all the good times spent with her. Im telling you it does get hard sometimes, but with people around you that care, everything gets a little easier. Healing takes time.
My deepest condolences once again, and if you need anyone to talk to, go ahead and PM me.

You take it the way you feel man. Hopefully this makes your family stronger, it's got to be tough to lose a loved one, especially when they seem to be the glue that holds everyone together.
But as it's been said already, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, you will be strong in her abscence, you just don't know what it is that you'll be strong in. You know you have your mother's fight in you, use that to get through this tough time.
Keep checking in man, I think it's safe to say we're all here for you.
