Help with what, exactly?

I'm honestly not sure what you expected to happen. Did you think the mortgage company was just going to say "shoot, the guy on the mortgage died, I guess we're just out several hundred thousand dollars"?

No. They're legally entitled to seek to recover the balance due on the mortgage from your husband's estate (which may effectively be "you").

The first step would be to contact the mortgage company and find out what you need to do to get out of foreclosure. If the house is actually foreclosed upon, you're out on the street in pretty short order (usually you have three days after the property is sold at auction before the new owner can send the sherriff in to forcibly evict you), so you'll want to do this RIGHT NOW to try to stop things from going that far.

If the mortgage company doesn't want to work with you, then bankruptcy is one option. That would put a hold on any foreclosure proceedings until the bankruptcy is resolved. You'll need an attorney for this, and the attorney will be able to explain the details of exactly how it works.

It will affect her credit if she executed the mortgage along with her husband. If her name is not on the mortgage or the property then it will not affect her credit. She should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and determine what her options are. Perhaps the bank would accept a deed from the heirs in lieu of foreclosure.
