My try:

"Thanks alot for consoling me.Your lovely and kind words really encouraged me that I dont have "can't find words" will be more proper I think. words to describe my feelings,but only gratefulness. I don't know what else ~~can I say/should I say~~. OR,what else I can/should say. It is a noun clause. You don't ask a question here so follow this structure. As for the word choice, "should" will be more proper. In fact, use this:I don't know what to say more.

Hi,
I've seen you got some corrections, but...

Keenlearner"Thanks alot for consoling me.Your lovely and kind words really encoureged me that I dont have words to describe my feelings,but only grateful,what else can I say/should I say. OR,what else I can/should say."I want help in this sentence, is this sentences is correct or not,and can I use can and should both in above sentence.Thanks

1) encoureged me that What's this structure, "encourage someone that.."? I'd say encouraged me so much that...

2) but only grateful... There's no verb... I'd say but I'm only grateful...

Anyway, I would leave out the last part, from after "feelings" to the end. You really don't need to say "what else can I say..." or anything.
If you want to know how it would be written anyway, I would say "...what else could I say?" or "...what else can I say?", etc. It has the same structure of a normal question, but it's not really a question, you are not really asking. It's kind of like a rhetorical question. Intonation would be different too, compared with a normal question.

That's my opinion. Remember I'm not a native speaker...

Thank you so much for consoling me. Your lovely and kind words have encouraged me so much that I don't exactly know how to express my gratitude.
