I'm TERRIFIED to tell my boss I'm quitting... HELP

I have been working for a small outpatient clinic as a pelvic/ortho PT for the past 1.5 years (they have been wonderful). I am the only full time PT and there are two other part time PTs (including my boss). My mental health has been really bad the past 6-8 months and I have felt very misaligned in my current setting, leading me to job search and look at other options. I recently received an offer I am really excited about in a different setting with little to no commute (I current commute 1-2 hours daily). I'm scared to accept the new job due to my huge role in patient care and recent involvement teaching Pilates at my clinic. I feel terrified to give my notice and let down my boss who has given me amazing opportunities here. How do I approach this?? I do want to have the conversation soon to give her 4 weeks notice but am TERRIFIED. Plz advise!

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond and give me the encouragement I needed 😄 I ended up giving notice today and my boss took it fairly well. It was not as scary as I made it seem!
