Late nursing influencer Hailey Okula<\/strong>\u2019s husband, Matthew Okula<\/strong>, is showing the raw and real side of his grieving journey five months after his wife\u2019s death<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matthew took to Instagram<\/a> on Wednesday, August 27, to share clips recorded on the baby monitor in son Crew\u2019s room. In one video, Matthew could be seen rocking Crew to sleep as he wiped tears from his eyes. Another clip showed Matthew reclining in the chair with Crew resting on his chest.<\/p>\n

The emotional video, which was set to John Mayer<\/strong>\u2019s song \u201cYou\u2019re Gonna Live Forever in Me,\u201d ended with a snap of a candle lit beside a photo of Hailey and a tribute reading \u201cIn Loving Memory of Hailey Marie Okula, 08\/07\/1991 \u2013 03\/29\/2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the caption, Matthew wrote, \u201cWe\u2019re coming up on 5 months without Hailey. I promised I\u2019d be transparent and share the good and the bad, so here it is. Some nights I\u2019m crying in the dark, wishing she could be here to hold him, to see him, to live the life she worked so hard for. It\u2019s all so bittersweet. We miss and love you, Hailey.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tNursing influencer Hailey Okula\u2019s husband, Matthew Okula, is sharing an honest update after her death. \u201cFor those of you who knew Hailey, you know the incredible joy she brought to everything she touched,\u201d Matthew wrote via Instagram on Sunday, April 20. \u201cAnd for those who didn\u2019t know her personally, Hailey had an endless love for [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hailey died suddenly at age 33<\/a> on March 29, shortly after Crew was born via C-section, due to childbirth complications, Matthew confirmed at the time. It was later revealed that she went into cardiac arrest following an amniotic fluid embolism<\/a> (AFE), which occurs when \u201camniotic fluid, fetal cells, or debris enter the mother\u2019s bloodstream during pregnancy, triggering a severe immune-like reaction,\u201d Dr. Precious Barnes<\/strong>, DO, a family medicine physician specializing in women\u2019s health and fertility, told Us Weekly<\/em> exclusively via email. \u201cThis can lead to sudden heart and lung failure, uncontrolled bleeding and organ damage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with the heaviest of hearts that I share the devastating news of the unexpected passing of my beautiful wife, Hailey Marie Okula,\u201d Matthew wrote via Instagram. \u201cWords cannot convey the depth of the loss I feel. Hailey was more than I could have ever dreamed of in a wife and partner. She was gorgeous, smart, hardworking, passionate, trustworthy, and above all else, unbelievably loyal. For nearly 13 years, she stood by my side in the hardest of times, loving me endlessly, even when I felt undeserving of that love. She was my everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
