My mother was 68 when she died suddenly of a heart attack (after surviving cervical, breast and melanoma cancers). I was angry for a long time. She died in the CCU which I had a hard time understanding for a long time, especially since they blue skied her prognosis.
What you are being afflicted with are the normal stages of grief which can last as long as a 1 1/2 years (at least for the worst part of it).
I would look into grief counseling with either a local hospital or hospice center. They may be able to help you understand these feelings a little better and to also let you know that others suffer the same and you are not alone.
