Sorry for Your Loss

Some may not find this show interesting, I've seen some reviews that reflect that. I am chiming in to inform you that this show is not about back to back plot twists, and crazy developments. If that's what you're looking for, you won't find it here and you shouldn't go much further. However, if you are at all interested in the human condition, this is a story for you. It's more than just her going through the motions, it is telling their story. You learn about what happened, what lead up to the lead up to the death of Matt. You come face to face with real life obstacles that a widow faces and the complications that arise along the way. This story is about human connection and the struggles of a widow truly mourning her husband. Elizabeth did an incredible job in this performance, and I felt every moment of it. This story inspired me and this story inspired my own writing and I refer anyone I know to it. It's ten episodes, by the end of it you will be able to figure out how you feel about it for yourself. I hope you enjoy it as I did.

I really enjoyed the first season. I recently lost a loved one, and it was refreshing to watch real grief. I loved how it was written, how it was filmed, and how it was edited.

I thought Elizabeth Olsen did a wonderful job. Some of it is incredibly sad but it is but so beautifully handled. I saw someone commenting that nothing happened, which just isn't true, it's not a fast paced show but that is the point. I hope there is a season 2

This is a very nuanced portrayal of grief that is really poignant. With astute observations about depression, feeling lost in life, memory and acceptance. The sad news is that after an excellent first season, creators could not find a way to move the story in a meaningful way. So the second season doesn't pack the same punch as the first one.

However, its a real shame that a smart drama about adults dealing with everyday life somehow feels groundbreaking in 2021.

I'm a few episodes in and have really connected with this show so far. I lost my fiancé suddenly a little while ago and Elizabeth Olsen does a fine job portraying what that kind of grief looks like. It's angry, selfish, irrational and completely valid, and you feel her pain throughout. It's a thoughtful and therapeutic show that takes the viewer on an unglamourous emotional journey - worth the watch if you're going through something similar or want to better understand someone who is.
