Decisions like this really is not easy mr Papper!
Will share a little about my youngest son - the company he had been working at for a short while, were taken over by a larger group. They were given the option of taking a retrenchment package which was a better prospect than being retrenched. As it's always last in, first out, he opted for the package, but in the end so many went for that option that the company did not have to retrench! He could have just sat tight and his job would have been safe. He went on to a job where he was very unhappy but fortunately kept ties with someone from his very first job and he's now back with them; people who really care so his job dilemma ended well.
I do hope you make the right decision but I also believe you will, if you listen to that inner voice guiding you, but it's going to be trying times for sure until the dust settles.
All will work out in the end for you and your family, that is what I believe! Someone who is so sincere in everything they do will be rewarded one way or another.
