If you are behind on your mortgage you certainly should learn about available options.
In your state in general after 5 months lender starts foreclosure process. You can read here about foreclosure in Connecticut. It sounds you have not much time left. If your goal is to keep your home the most important is to talk to a lender. If i understand this right you are trying to collect some documents to prove at the court that you cannot afford your house? Why don't you prove that you faced hardship and you need some extra time to get back on a track. Get a job as you stated you are looking for and start negotiate with your lender. i would suggest to use this service here. They are very helpful.
When comes to documents you are asking for i am not sure what you need. Get your W-2 from your employer to show your income, docs from hospital about your surgery, etc and ask judge for some extra time. Tell him you are on a path to take care of all of this and ask this service later to help you with your lender.
Hope this will help.
