The issues surrounding probate are too complicated to get into here. We suggest you consult a lawyer in your state. If your husband does not have a will, he should make one. There are kits available online, or the lawyer can help. There are a variety of books available that help you understand the probate process and how to prepare for it.
So far as grieving is concerned, we suggest that you look for a support group run by an experienced grief therapist. Most hospice organizations can refer you, even if your husband did not require their services.
Please don't let other people talk you out of dealing with your grief in that fashion. Pastors, in particular, often attempt to provide grief counseling, and few are properly qualified to do so. Being told to trust in the lord is not the same thing as assistance in working through the stages of grief.

You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in family law as soon as possible. You are still legally married even if you are "legally" separated.
