Yes it will be hard, but it will be well worth your time if you can find the right one. It gives you a chance to meet with face-to-face with someone to ask these questions. And you'll get feedback that is much more tailored and specific to your situation than what you'll get off of any online forum.
Seeing as you live in CT, at least according to your profile, I would start by checking out this CT Department of Banking site to review what you should be looking for in a financial planner:

If you do end up meeting with a financial planner or adviser, just make sure you establish up front that you're not looking for someone to manage your money, but rather that you just want advice. That relationship may change depending on what you learn/decide, but at least establish those expectations up front.
