Aubrey Plaza lost her partner Jeff Baena to suicide seven months ago and is openly sharing her journey through grief. On Amy Poehler's podcast, Plaza discussed her daily struggle with emotions, stating, "I feel really grateful to be moving through the world." Baena's death was described by Plaza as an "unimaginable tragedy," and she has largely refrained from public appearances since. She likened her grief to a movie analogy, reflecting on her experience with loss as a comparison to navigating the treacherous aspects of that film.
"Right in this very, very present moment, I feel happy to be with you... Overall, I'm here and I'm functioning. I feel really grateful to be moving through the world... it's like a daily struggle, obviously."
"This is a really dumb analogy and it was kind of a joke at a certain point, but I actually mean it. ... I swear when I watched it, I was like that feels like what my grief is like...or what grief could be like."
