I lost my cat days ago and I still blame myself

...See more I know that this is the normal process of grieving but the guilt kicks in every time. My mind is plagued with thoughts like “I should’ve taken her to the vet sooner”, “I shouldnt have relied on my assumptions that her unusual behavior was nothing.”, “I shouldve given more time to her instead of playing games.”, etc. Deep down, I also sort of expected that her death was going to be any time soon but when it happened, it was really heartbreaking. She was my cat for almost 11 years and I felt that I took her for granted. I wish that I had done more for her. I try to balance my thoughts by thinking of how she had led a full life despite her external defects (bunny tail and defected left foot) and how grateful I am that she was there for me in every season of my college life up to my adulting days. I want to think of how happy she is now because she is not struggling anymore but I can’t help but miss her. To pet owners out here, how did you deal with the grief of pet loss?
