Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Hi I bough a home with my grandmother, we'll she signed on the mortgage and the deed is in both pie names. She passed away in 2011. My husband and I tried to get a loan mod because our 5/1 caused payments to skyrocket and we couldn't afford the payments. We have an attorney and the sale sate is scheduled for July 7, 2016. A realtor is doing a short sale but my question is can we buy more time to stay in the house? My husband has health issues and were told the short sale could lengthen this whole process. Does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks
