Thank you notes for prayers and support during illness: when they pray for you
I know that you’ve been praying for me every day since my hospitalization in May, and this gave me a lot of hope in that time.
Today is my last day here, and I feel completely healed.

They say my white blood cell count is going up steadily, which means my body is starting to battle my illness in the way that it should.
Thank you for your prayers; I am very grateful to be in your thoughts.
She is much better now, and I know it’s partly because of your prayers. Her fever has gone down, and she is sleeping much better. Please keep praying for us.
Sometimes, all someone needs to get better is a good prayer to the Lord from another person on his/her behalf. Thank you.

I can’t help but think that the prayer we did together had something to do with it. People say that they will pray for you, and they forget to do it.
Thank you for remembering to pray for me.
Thank you notes when they give emotional support
I say thank you because you have been amazingly kind and good to me; you’ve done this at your own expense, and it has been very helpful during these last three days of my illness.
I know that you are the busiest people in the world, but you still kept in contact with me the whole time. Thank you.

I have never felt so seen, heard, and loved in my entire life. Thank you so much.
Tina and I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for us since Michael’s accident. You’ve pulled us back from so many dark moments, and we are forever grateful.
You could have stayed away; God knows your life is far more interesting! However, you chose to keep me company and make me laugh when everything looked bleak for me. Thank you so much.

I doubt that I could have made it through the last two weeks of this harrowing illness without your emotional support. Thank you. I love you.
The one thing that has kept me feeling uncomfortable is the fact that I haven’t thanked you yet for all of your emotional support.
You might be away in Europe, but you were here the whole time by my side. I appreciate what you’ve done for me, so thank you.
My illness has been tough on everyone around me, and I haven’t been an easy patient for the nurses. However, you’ve been very supportive during this time, and I appreciate that. Thank you.

Thank you notes when they give financial support
Regarding my medical bills, I can’t thank you enough for your contribution. It sounds cliché, but I clearly couldn’t have paid it without your support.

At first, I felt ashamed that I couldn’t foot my own medical bills, but then I realized that you were doing this out of love for me. I am so lucky to have you as my parents. Thank you.
It happened at just the right time, and I can’t thank you enough. You, too, madam, have been very kind to me throughout this entire process. God bless you.

Thank you very much. I’ll definitely pay you back once I get better. Until then, I want to sincerely thank you!
I know that my medical insurance needs bumping up if I continue to rack up expensive medical bills. For that reason, I want to thank you for your financial support. I won’t forget it.

How to say thank you when they give physical support
Thank you for everything. I don’t want you to think that I haven’t noticed how much more work you have because of me. I have noticed, and I am so lucky to have you by my side.

I’m saying thank you because you’ve been very kind to me and my family throughout my illness. You checked on them and comforted them when it got tough. Thank you very much.
It’s because you have proven your loyalty and friendship during my illness, and you did this by nursing me back to health. No patient is easy, and I am so damn heavy; however, you saw me through. Thank you.
You could have been working on achieving other goals, but you chose to help me. Thank you very much. I’ll make sure to make it up to you in some way as soon as I can.

Before I leave this depressing place, I just want to show you appreciation for taking care of my apartment and walking my dog while I was away. Lord knows I needed that, so thank you.
You weren’t doing it for pay or a reward, but you did it for the sake of helping me. I find that very selfless, and I feel honored knowing that you chose to do it for me.
If there is one thing that my illness has shown me, it is the length my friends will go to help me and my family; you helped us remain comfortable. Thank you so much.

I hope Travis isn’t giving you much trouble, especially with his algebra. I hope that he isn’t making your personal life difficult in any way. I would hate to stress you out with my family’s problems.
