Dear _______________,
Thank you for providing me with wise spiritual counsel. It brought me a sense of comfort and peace during this very difficult period of bereavement.

I remember God’s promise of everlasting life beyond this world. You are such a compassionate priest and friend. I cannot thank you enough for your spiritual counsel and sustaining messages of hope. Please keep my family in your daily prayers.

Thanks for Providing Ministry and Comfort
Dear _______________,
I was a complete emotional wreck last week after the passing of my best friend. And I’m still in shock. We’d known each other since childhood and it’s hard to imagine life without her. Thank you so much for spending time with me on Sunday after mass to provide me much-needed spiritual counsel. I really needed your quiet comforting words to help me work through my myriad of thoughts and feelings. And thank you for kneeling down with me to pray for her. Although she wasn’t a big believer in attending church, she was such a sweet and giving soul ready to dispense her kindness to others. I know she made it safely to Heaven.
I appreciate your ministry and your friendship.

Thank You Note for Spiritual Counsel
Dear _______________,
My soul was filled with peace and light after you spoke with me at hospital when my father was passing. Your spiritual counsel came at just the perfect time. Your message of God’s love and his divine plan for each of us really helped to uplift my broken heart. Although I have not been to church in over a decade, I have been moved to return again and regain a sense of community and communion with God. Thanks again for providing spiritual counsel and words of wisdom.
With gratitude and appreciation,

Bereavement Thank You Notes
Dear _______________,
I love you so dearly. Thank you for flying across the country to be at my side during this period of incredible loss. Just thinking about how much spiritual and emotional support you’ve so graciously given me this past week fills my heart with so much gratitude. Thank you for grocery shopping for me before you left and filling my refrigerator with delicious ready-made meals. Your many phone calls have also lifted my spirits. I appreciate your friendship so much. But I don’t want you to feel that you need to worry about me. I want you to know that I feel your love and I will be fine.
Thank you for everything.
