Anger=Sadness?

I'm not sure if this would be the right message board to ask this question, but I didn't see any others that would match either. Anyway, I've noticed recently that I don't feel sad I only feel anger. When my husband's grandmother died suddenly, I didn't cry, I was just angry at her doctors for not "fixing" what was wrong with her. The same when my dog that I've had since I was 4 died a few months ago. We had him in the vet's office for a week ($800 bill by the way) and they said he had diabetes and would be fine, as long as we gave him the insulin shots. We brought him home and he died the next morning. I am soooo angry at things, but can't be sad. I don't know how to explain it. My father and I are disassociated, whenever I read a book that talks about a daugher-father bond, all I feel is anger for him, not the sadness of loosing a bond that I think I should have. I thought about it and I can't even remember the last time I was sad. Is this unhealthy? What, if anything, can I do about it??
