You may have quite a few. Florida does not support have a spouse to be disinherited without their consent.
First of all you may be able to contest the Will. Second, you may be able to take an Elective Share (a/k/a elect against the Will). Third, you may be entitled to a homestead right to realty and other assets. There also may be other alternatives, depending upon other factors and facts, including a right to personal effects.
You need to consult with a probate attorney to review the situation. Otherwise it is highly unlikely you will know how to proceed correctly.
