I love my kids and cant stand the thought of them being so far away. But I am afraid, financially, we won't survive here and this climate requires too much time and energy to maintain our home, especially as we grow older. The whole thought is just so scary and depressing.

PLEASE DO NOT DO ANYTHING that can't be changed. Try renting for several months. It sounds like your heart and interests are NOT here. Downsize there and be happy.
