I know what you mean about anger! My first husband died when he was 36--that was 30 years ago and I can still get angry feeling he didn't take care of himself. However, rather strangely, when I got a hard-to-treat breast cancer diagnosis two years ago I suddenly felt more forgiveness towards him! I think because I could relate more in terms of overwhelm and fear and pain. I'd never tell anyone to stay mad--or to get over it. I find these feelings just come and go like weather. I will add that in the main my memories of him are happy--and I continue to share them with our daughter. May your husband's memory be a blessing.
