Coping with anger

I'm in deep. I'm grieving the loss of someone close to me and I'm pissed off. Usually, anger is helpful to me as it points to something I need to address. There is nothing this anger is going to prompt me to do except having a stoke or something.

I need your best anger management skills.

Part of the problem is this person died from alcoholism at 33. I keep obsessing about the darkness she must have had to endure to get to the point to drink herself to death. I know that darkness and I chickened out and turned back way before I got too deep into that end-stage. Her death keeps reminding me of the soul-crushing depression. I didn't know she was in that much trouble but I also know I couldn't have stopped it from happening even if I did.
