A NURSING influencer tragically passed away after battling yearslong infertility issues and finally giving birth to her first child.
ER nurse and popular TikToker Hailey Okula died due to complications from childbirth when she gave birth to her son.
Matthew Okula, Hailey's husband, shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram.
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I share the devastating news of the unexpected passing of my beautiful wife, Hailey Marie Okula, due to complications from childbirth,” he wrote.
“Words 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.”
Matthew, whose been with Hailey for 13 years, called her his “everything.”
The heartbroken new father went on to detail the couple's struggles with infertility, an issue Hailey had previously been vocal about to her 212,000 TikTok followers.
“After years of infertility struggles and a long, challenging IVF process, we were overjoyed to be expecting Crew. Hailey faced every hurdle with so much courage and love—even though her body went through so much, she never wavered.”
Matthew recalled a time he broke down and apologized to his wife for everything she was going through.
“She held my face, looked into my eyes, and said, ‘We are a team, and we’ll get through this together.'”
He described the nurse as someone who would “do anything for the people she loved.”
Matthew said his wife's love for their newborn son Crew was “limitless” despite the short time they had together.
