Surprise half siblings

I found out some time ago that I have half siblings which was a shock to say the least. Half siblings are from an affair my Dad and their Mum was having, I found this so very hurtful, my poor Mum.
My Dad did not have a relationship with half siblings (poor, I know) and has since passed away. Half siblings had reached out as adults and there was a meet up but I think this was it. I chose not to get involved as felt so hurt for my Mum and didn’t want to complicate things.
Since my Dad’s passing, I have thought about them and the whole thing more so but don’t know quite why, it’s like I am still in disbelief that this situation even exists and I feel quite angry. Has anyone else been through this or similar? Is it just the grief process is some way or another?

My dad left my mum before I was born and went on to father 2 more dc. I found this out after my mum died. I googled his name and found out he'd died too. The online obituary said he was "survived by 2 sons". No mention of me and my sibling by my mum.
No interest whatsoever in contacting the sons he chose to stay and raise.
