Pray for me and mine please

Good luck brother, life sucks some times, hogs make it through. You got this. God will help, just pray. Lean on those dogs, the pack can survive anything. Va is better anyway
 
Thank you so very much folks, it is appreciated. Looking like I'm going to have to push back my departure until sat morn due to a late start loading up the uhaul. I'm absolutely beat and just called it a night. Finish up in the AM, rest then Hit it first thing sat morning. Don want to stay an extra day, but I have little choice. I'll try and check in on my phone during stops on the way.
 
Drive safe... take care of this pups, and they'll take care of you!

As others have said, the alone time on the drive might surprise you...
Self reflection can be, and often is a good thing.

Don't push too hard on the drive... Stop often and see and experience some of the places along the way!!!

Nframe, I'm sorry to hear the news. Assuming you're getting divorced, I recommend getting a good lawyer unless you and her have already worked out a deal that you are comfortable with. Don't make any rash decisions. I have been through one divorce, and the process got pretty ugly at times – she tried to get as much as she could, and all it did was run up the legal bill for both of us. My divorce was years ago, and life IS better now.

Time does help ease the pain. I will pray for you. Do take good care of yourself and your dogs (they need you and will always love you), and drive safely!
 
I am praying for you Nframe; I totally understand how you feel, I was married 23 years and she left and I know it was hell on earth. You will get through this man, hang in there and stay away from alcohol if you can, it makes it worse and you can't think straight; besides all the wise counsel above, as getting a good lawyer, maybe stop by the church if you get a chance and get prayed for there, pastors deal with this kind of thing all the time and they have good things to say and wise counsel too. Try to not isolate yourself, I did and it made it worse; time will heal your broken heart. The audio books suggestion is a good one for your trip; I really feel bad for you bro. Let us know how your trip went, at least you have the pups to keep you smiling a little. I will continue to pray for you, I promise.
 
Prayers sent. Your pups will definitely help. Dogs love unconditionally and don't know what you're going through. All they know is that they love you.

The audio book idea is a great one. Or just the radio. Anything. The silence will drive you nuts.

Just keep it between the mayonnaise and mustard, get there safe, and it'll work out.

Best of luck.
 
Wearily wondering, suddenly single,
not too perturbed but unwilling to mingle;
someday perhaps I won't be so alone,
but until then I'll go my own way.

Don't ask me why and don't say you're sorry,
it's my life and I don't want you to worry;
I haven't done wrong for which to atone,
and I haven't got anything more now to say.

I cannot imagine a worse kind of life
than living each day in domestic strife,
to stare back and forth with faces of stone,
and the best we can say is, Havva nice day.

It is never a happy thing to split up and I hope it all works out well for you. If you don't have kids between you, that is a positive and it is easier to start over.
 
It may or may not help, but during times like this I choose good ole' Hank Williams Sr. tunes to remedy some of those feelings. Then turn to the grandson Hank III....yes skip Jr.....and let the music take care of ya a bit? Just a suggestion, but Hank III really does have some good blues ailments like his grand-pappy.

Sr is the best, and my favorite, though most people prefer Jr, lol
 
Some advice I gave to my brother in a very similar situation.
When you get to where you're going, get busy!
Work long hours, get a hobby, take the dogs hiking, and go to bed early and tired!
Get up early and repeat.
The last thing you need is to sit up late at night with your thoughts,,, and worse booze.
Time is the best healer,,, may as well spend it doing something productive.

You said it Cobalt. Hank Sr will always be the legend that paved the road IMO. The best, and like they say...songs straight from Heaven itself.
