Made plans to leave

I have a friend with a big house, she has extra bedrooms since her 4 kids have grown and left. Her husband died 15 years ago. She is going to rent me one of the bedrooms for $600 a month, and I plan to leave May 1st. I feel so relieved that I have made a decision about this, and my latest decision is that I am not going to make any more decisions right now. I have a financial advisor, and I see an attorney in a few weeks, and I am going to let them help me with whatever decisions come next. But for now, I am just glad to have found somewhere to go that I can afford. I don't plan to tell my husband for a couple of weeks, as I think it will be a mistake to tell him a month in advance. Then I will tell the kids, that will be the hardest part. I am expecting the worst, but hoping for the best. On one hand I am terrified of leaving, we have been married almost 25 years. On the other hand, I feel a sense of freedom. I know my life is going to change immensely, and my financial situation is bleak, but I think I can make it work.
