Anger is, of course, quite normal. Have you looked into stages of grief? If not, please do so.Anger is not to be subdued, but it HAS TO BE CHANNELED. Do not get angry in front of her, or heaven forbid in front of the children. A baseball bat and an old trash can do the trick nicely, or better yet go for a long hike in the woods and yell at a spruce or an oak tree, just be careful not to piss off a bear or a mountain lion (or a park ranger). It is highly therapeutic. I am not kidding you, try this advice, it will do wonders for you. You have to let the anger out of your system in a healthy way.
