Aubrey Plaza on Coping with Grief

• Daily Struggle Amid Small Victories
  In a deeply candid conversation on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast, Aubrey Plaza described her grief as an ongoing challenge, yet emphasized that she’s “here and … functioning” and feels “really grateful to be moving through the world.” But she didn’t shy away from admitting, “I think I’m OK, but, you know, it’s like a daily struggle, obviously.” EW.comThe CutNBC New YorkParade

• A Vivid Metaphor: The Gorge
  Plaza likened her emotional state to the 2025 sci-fi film The Gorge, where two characters stand on opposing cliffs flanking a chasm filled with monsters. She shared that grief feels like “a giant ocean of awfulness—that’s right there and I can see it.” At times she wants to dive into it, sometimes she merely observes, and sometimes she tries to escape—even though “it’s always there.” The CutEW.comTheWrapParade
