My New Dog Killed Resident Cat

Hi, I've posted here before, and I'm so sorry for the grisly content. I don't know what else to do or who to talk to and I'm really struggling.

Over the weekend my newly adopted dog (I've had her for 3 weeks) killed my cat. I was there when it happened and I couldn't get my cat away from my dog until she had already died. I don't know what this means about my dog. Does this mean that she's aggressive and I've never noticed? Can I trust her around small animals and children? We had intended that she would be a therapy dog, and I don't know if that can happen now. She has some pretty intense separation anxiety, which has generally been ok because I can bring her to work with me. I don't want to have to bring her back to the shelter because I think that she would be difficult to adopt with the anxiety, and the fact that she's killed a household cat. But I also can't get what happened out of my mind and I'm feeling angry with her even though I don't think she meant to kill my cat.
