Write a thank-you note to thank others for their help during a life transition: moving to a new town, after a divorce, new career change, etc.
Dear Ray and Diane,
I feel a little overwhelmed and crowded now by all the “new” in my life. New job. New apartment. New neighborhood. But the best “new” is a new perspective. I don’t have to tell you how desperate I was feeling, still entangled in my relationship with Brad. When things started to go from bad to worse, I almost felt numb. That is, until you two came on the scene.
I just can’t thank you enough for all the time you’ve spent with me. Calling all your network to help me locate a new job here. Coaching me on the interview. Even neighborhood hunting all weekend. The hours and hours you’ve spent on my behalf seems like an incredible gift. And an investment –- an investment in helping me start a new life.
How can you thank someone for all that? Please know how dear you’ve both become to me. Your love and concern feel like a warm blanket on those long nights as I adjust to my new life here.
With much love,
Becca
