Through a chain of exciting and dramatic events, this TV series follows Leigh Shaw, a young woman who has just lost her husband. She lives so sad time. Her life turns upside down when she discovers shocking truths about her husband and his work. She may be in a serious danger.
It articulates the aspects of loss that can be difficult to voice, like hating the word "condolences", hating being told you are "in someone's prayers" and the way people are sympathetic at first, but then just assume you will be alright.
It's the kind of series that's instantly so fully formed, so funny and candid and wrenching right from the start, that you almost question the emotional propriety of it all.
There is something surreal about watching an emotionally wrenching show like this while your cousin messages you a meme or you get a notification about a friend's barbecue.
In its brisk bursts, Sorry for Your Loss covers a lot of ground - sibling dynamics, mother-child relationships, mental health - but, most of all, it suggests that suffering isn't saintly or enriching. It's messy, unwanted and unwelcome.
Like the grief it portrays so effectively and poignantly, Sorry For Your Loss sneaks its way into your thoughts and doesn't seem to want to let go of them.
