Coping with Guilt: Finding Peace After Your Pet's Passing

Dear Jack,
I feel so angry with myself because he got so much worse so quickly, pushing me into a panic when I should have stayed calm for him. I feel I failed him and I feel robbed of being able to give him the final act of love in the way I had it planned. How do I live with this?
 
Please understand that human beings only have so much control in the events of their lives. You can’t plan on many things to go the way you’ve planned. This was out of your hands when all was said and done. Until you realize this, you will torment yourself with thoughts like you are now having. If you asked him what he thought about what happened, what would his answer be? Step out of yourself and ask, really. What would he say about you?
Love, Jack
