My husband was only 32 and we were only married a year and a half. I have had a real difficult time with all of this, however I have had alot of help. My family, My Inlaws, and my friends have been wonderful The people at work have been incredible and I want to send them a special card. Thank you really just is not enough for everything that they have done for me and my husbands family. They all knew him and his family before I even started working there and we met at work. He didn't work there any longer but they always loved him and treated us like family. My co-workers are not like regular co-workers they are an extended family and since we were young and they are all older it was as if we had an extra 15 sets of parents. I am a terrible writer and would like to know if anyone can suggest something special to write in a card. I would just like them to know how much they meant to us and how much I appreciate everything they did during all of this.
Thank you everyone

Dear _____,
I want to let you know just how much it meant for me to have you there to hold my hand and let me cry on your shoulder these past few weeks. I understand you went through a hard time losing (husband's name) right along with me. You have been a cherished friend for a long time and I know that he loved you very much for your friendship over the years. I truly appreciate your strength that you have so freely given since he passed as well. Please know that although I may not always show it out in the open or tell you, that you are loved and appreciated for all you have done; both while he was alive and since he has gone. I may need to call on you for strength in the future and it makes my heart rest a little easier knowing that I have such amazing friends/family as you.
With all my thanks and love,
(your name)

First of all, let me offer you my condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I would print something in your local paper, thanking everyone that has been by your side through all of this, mentioning specific names if you want. Rest assured people are aware of how much you have gone through, and although thanks does not seem to be enough for what all they have done, that is all they expect or want. They already know they mean a lot to you and your family and did these gestures because of the friendship you share and enjoy. Sounds like you are truely blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.

Im so sorry. I know how you feel. It was my daughter that died but loss is loss, and you should'nt even be worring about that right now. everybody understands what your going through and is'nt expecting anything at the moment. But when you feel up to it, I agree with the guy that considers himself a writer. He's pretty good. Anyway, Hang in there, . " this too shall pass"

I am so sorry for the loss of your Husband, my heart goes out to you.
I honestly think you said it all here, what you should write in a Thank you letter. Try writing it down and then you can edit it before you write it in the actual card.
Hoping you find comfort and compassion today and always,
Faith
