Looking forward to a wonderful day.

I’m sure you know that the stages of grief are fluid and you can move back and forth through them each day or even each hour. I can say that it is indeed horrible to live full of anger but the very fact that you do not want to live that way shows that you will never spend too much time in that mindset! It is ok to have a day or two (or even a few) when all you want to do is punch people in the face.
It’s hard for me to accept emotions as valid, especially if they are difficult emotions to feel. But your anger IS valid and I believe it will fade.
