I'm sorry to hear all this is coming closer to home. Still, don't sell. First, have your DH file for unemployment ASAP. That should be the only thing he works on. Next, cut your expenses. A lot. Sell what you can. Then, if you burn through most of that emergency fund, and you have nothing else, sell only as much as you need to get by very short term. You can always sell more later. The goal should be to keep as much in the market as you can, for as long as you can. Assuming you don't pay per trade, sell enough for a few weeks, and then a few weeks more as needed.
