Feeling immense guilt after my cat passed away

I lost my beautiful girl two months ago. For nine years she was my everything. Then I had a baby.

This last year has been so hard for me. I was dealing with preeclampsia and postpartum anxiety, and my child had a congenital condition. As a result, I didn't give her the attention she deserved and didn't notice that she was getting skinnier and weaker until it was too late. She had IBD her whole life which often resulted in her having weight fluctuations, but I should have noticed that it was getting worse and taken her to the vet sooner. I loved her so much and I can't shake the guilt of how I let her down the last six months of her life. I claimed often that I would do anything for her, but when she needed me, I failed her.
