Aubrey Plaza has described her grief over husband Jeff Baena’s death, likening it to “a giant ocean of awfulness.”

The US actress says life is "a daily struggle", seven months after husband Jeff Baena's suicide.

Aubrey Plaza had an honest conversation about grief during an appearance on Amy Poehler’s podcast, “Good Hang,” on Tuesday. Poehler, who co-starred alongside Plaza on “Parks and Rec,” asked Plaza how she was doing in the wake of her “terrible, tragic year.” Plaza’s husband, writer and director Jeff Baena, died by suicide in January. He was 47.
