Aubrey Plaza Opens Up About Grief After Husband's Death: A Daily Struggle.

In her first interview after the death of her husband, Jeff Baena, Aubrey Plaza opened her heart on the Good Hang podcast with her friend Amy Poehler. Amy noted that Aubrey's dog, Frankie, is her 'therapy dog,' which sparked a conversation about grief. 'You've gone through this horrible, horrible, tragic year. You've lost your husband, you're dealing with this and looking for every possible way to find support,' Amy told Aubrey, asking how she feels at this moment. Aubrey replied that she is happy to be with Amy but acknowledged that the struggle with grief is a daily challenge. Describing her grief, Aubrey compared it to the film 'The Gorge.' She explained that grief feels like a constant presence in her life, comparing it to an ocean of despair that she sometimes wants to dive into but other times wants to pull away from. Aubrey's first public comments regarding Jeff's death came shortly after the tragedy when a representative described it as an unfathomable tragedy. Reports indicated they were separated at the time of Jeff's death. Jeff, who was born and raised in Miami, began his career as a film director in Los Angeles after studying at film school in New York. In this moving conversation with friends, Aubrey shared her feelings about losing her husband and dealing with grief for the first time. Such candid confessions help others see that celebrities also experience painful losses and seek ways to find support from friends and loved ones.
