Wayne and Tracy Phillips donate more than £70,000 to thank the hospice which helped care for Jean.
Tracy, 41, added: "She was petrified of the unknown. She'd wake up panicking."
Faye arranged for equipment to be brought to the house and for nurses to care for Jean, give the family respite and help with difficult conversations such as preferred funeral arrangements. Tracy, who is a counsellor, added: "Jean wouldn't accept she was dying, and it was very hard for us to actually have that conversation. It was breaking us, it was breaking her. We were trying to protect her and little did we know she was trying to protect us."
"We both feel lighter now, calmer, knowing that we did everything that we possibly could for Jean. We have no regrets." The couple decided to be the first to take part in a new nurse sponsor initiative, which will see them donate more than £60,000 to cover Faye's salary until 2025.Tracy and Wayne Phillips have sponsored nurse Faye Russell-Jones, who cared for Jean in the last three weeks of her life
Wayne said: "We know our money is going to three, four, five families today who are going through a really difficult time.Emma Saysell, chief executive of St David's Hospice Care, explained the charity gets 25% of its funding from the NHS, but costs £9m a year to run, and they are "overwhelmed" by the couple's generosity."We have always said we would like someone to sponsor a nurse. They are such a dedicated, compassionate team that try to go the extra mile.
