"Sorry for Your Loss" Recap, Season 1 Episodes 7 and 8

Grief for her husband's death makes attending a friend's wedding hard.

Episodes seven and eight of "Sorry for Your Loss" debuted yesterday on Facebook Watch. The half-hour dramedy focuses on Leigh (Elizabeth Olsen), 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.

***SPOILER ALERT***

In this recap, I'll be talking about a major plot point that was revealed last week in episode five. If you haven't yet watched episode five and you're not interested in spoilers, now is the time to turn back! ***SPOILER ALERT***

In this week's new episodes of "Sorry for Your Loss," we continue to learn more about Matt, digging into the childhood he never much talked about to Leigh. Then we see how attending a wedding comes with unexpected triggers for the folks we're following in this story. Well, unexpected for some; I think we all knew as well as Leigh did that a wedding would be hard for her, five months after her husband's unexpected death.

Last week, we got a whole lot more information about how Matt died, but we still don't know one crucial detail that continues to nag at Leigh. Was Matt's death an accident or did he choose to end his own life?
