Wallace

Intro Wallace is 72 and is grieving the loss of his wife Karen who he was maried to for 49 years, just shy of their Golden Anniversary. He held it together for the funeral, but is lost without the wonderful woman he spent his entire life with and cherished dearly. . Daily actions are difficult for him. He still sets the table with two plates and makes 2 cups of coffee in the morning. He has a hard time sleeping in their bed at night without her. The closet is still full of her clothes and her dentures sit on the nightstand in a cup of water he refills everyday. . Wallace is struggling to take care of the house and understand finances since Karen always took care of those things. He was late paying his car insurance, and broke down when he had them remove her from the policy. Something comes up every day that he doesn't know how to handle without her. . Wallace and Karen had a traditional marriage, his career as an architect and hers as a housewife. They had 3 children together, a son named Greg and two daughters named Mary Beth and Susan, and 9 grandchildren. (You know one of the children or the grandchildren) . Greg, Mary Beth, and Susan are around to help their dad through this difficult time, but they're also grieving the loss of their beloved matriarch. His daughters clean the house regularly and his son helps him with the finances. The one thing they can't help Wallace with is the deep void in his chest losing Karen left him with that leaves him feeling depressingly lonely. . Even in retirement, Wallace kept his architect supplies in his in-home office. He still passionately enjoyed drafting new blueprints and building designs until Karen died. After her passing, he lost all enthusiasm for drafting, and simply sits in his chair staring at a blank page most days. . You're hanging out with one of the family members when everyone stops by Wallace's house to check on him. Wallace is sitting directionless in his office, lounging in his desk chair, thinking about his wife
