I am so sorry....I know how you feel and that helplessness can be overwhelming. When I lost my home, I looked at this opportunity as a move for the better. I found a great place within budget and looked forward to how I was going to decorate it, etc. Try to find the positive in it if you can.
I know how hard it is to think that way right now but take it from me....you will look back and realize just how things happen for a reason. Hang in there.
I absolutely love Anna's suggestion

Who lives close to you from here???? I am in Nova Scotia and would be there if I could help you move. Ideas anyone????
