"Sorry for Your Loss" Recap, Season 1 Episodes 3 and 4

Weekly review of the new Elizabeth Olsen show about grief on Facebook Watch.

The first four episodes of Sorry for Your Loss debuted this week on Facebook Watch, and we're looking at episodes three and four today. The half-hour dramedy focuses on Leigh, a young widow whose husband, Matt, died three months before the show's action begins. Her network of family and friends includes her mom, Amy, her sister, Jules, and Matt's brother, Danny. The action shifts frequently between the present day and flashbacks to points throughout Leigh and Matt's relationship.

Episode three, titled Jackie O. and Courtney Love, puts the spotlight on Leigh's anger in the wake of Matt's death. I'm just mad all the time, she says, and that anger is starting to catch up with her as she lashes out without thinking, hurting her loved ones and strangers alike.

One of the people who bears the brunt of Leigh's anger is Becca, a newbie to grief group who, like Leigh, is a young widow. From our first glimpse of her, Becca is everything Leigh isn't. She's meticulously put together; she's bubbly and kind and outgoing; she's prettily grieving her perfect marriage to a soldier who died a hero.

Coping With Loss

Leigh is so determined to dislike Becca that her anger spirals out of control, hurting Becca and raging out of control to hurt others as well. But when she's finally able to look at how she's been behaving and have a rational conversation about it, Leigh realizes she's not as different from Becca as she thinks.
