Please accept my condolences on the loss of your husband.
You do not have to wait for your stepdaughter to offer your husband's Will for probate. You could either file a Petition to Probate the Will yourself, if she won't do it, or file a Petition for Year's Support against the estate. You could also file with the court asking that the court compel her to produce the Will. You have a number of options.
You really need to get an attorney to helpl you, ideally; preferably one who deals with contested estates as well as regular probate matters. But get started soon. Timing can be critical. Best wishes to you.
