Resurfacing feelings of sadness and regret

Hi everyone, I'm really in need of some advice right now. My beloved guinea pig passed away 8 months ago due to bladder stones. I had spent $500 to get an abscess lanced a couple months before, and he kept getting more after that. He was on a lot of antibiotics and I wonder if this changed something in him, because all of a sudden he didn't want to eat much and was having trouble peeing. I took him to the vet and it turns out he had huge bladder stones. I didn't want to put him through an expensive and dangerous surgery so I made the tough decision to put him to sleep. My dog of 15 years passed away almost a year and a half ago and that was rough for me too. I thought I had healed for the most part but these past few days both of them have been in my thoughts a lot. I wonder if I could've done something different.. if I didn't pay enough attention and could've prevented their deaths. But at the same time, I know I spent so much time with them and cared for them to the best of my ability. Does anyone else remember dealing with these guilty thoughts even months after their pets death? I feel almost like I'm back in the beginning of my grieving process
