Thanks for acknowledging that All emotions are valid. Being told to « rant away « isn’t supportive…
I am and have been for long time a patient at Mayo and always find the staff to be gentle, caring. I am sure that they know that my « not great » reply is just normal and not directed at them personally. Btw, I was an hospice care volunteer and it’s just my turn to be angry. Finally, a place where I can express my emotions instead of suppressing them - ready to burst. Sincerely All the best to everyone. I will sign out .

When I said rant away, I didn’t really mean endlessly. I am sorry I wasn’t clearer. Sometimes when things are really tough and I am really angry (rare but it happens) just railing for a few minutes kind of re-sets me a bit and once I have listened to myself, I can stop and reason through exactly what and who I am angry about.
I truly was trying to be supportive, and I do hope other members comments were helpful as well.
