Matthew Okula, the late nursing influencer’s husband, recently shared a candid glimpse of his grieving journey months after her death. He mentioned tough days but expressed pride in his progress and gratitude for the strong support system surrounding him.<\/p>\n

In March 2025, Matt revealed that Hailey passed away shortly after giving birth to Crew via C-section. He described Hailey as his ideal partner, highlighting her strength, loyalty, and unwavering love throughout their journey to parenthood.<\/p>\n

The family plans to hold a small, private celebration in honor of Hailey on what would have been her first Mother’s Day. Matt reminisced about a touching moment with Hailey during their struggles with infertility, showcasing her resilience and love.<\/p>\n

Hailey suffered cardiac arrest due to an amniotic fluid embolism following Crew’s birth, as explained by Dr. Precious Barnes. This rare condition can lead to severe complications, including heart and lung failure, among pregnant individuals.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
