He keeps packing, travelling, working,
never ending
He is afraid to stop becuase he has a home no more
The lonely journey on the road is way better than the one he endures in life
In the end, he will die a workaholic with no family to feed
That to him, it’s still better than a lone man with no one to bury him
Flicker of Thoughts 
Its his choice.

I hope this character has a light bulb moment and chooses other way.

This shift of focus to neglect the hopelessness is indeed very sad. And also more common than we think. Great writing! 🙂

Very well-written. The sadness that I felt reading it made me want to have a family of my own, I think!
