One other thing that might help though is to change how you explain this to yourself.
Let yourself off the hook. It isn't serving you well.
Maybe something like "I did the best that I could do. It would be selfish for anyone to expect any more of me. I took good care of her. She is safe and in good hands. I'm glad that I had a chance to know her, and I know that she wants me to enjoy life, so I am now going to take care of me by doing that."

It is sometimes difficult to believe this. Logically I'm good, emotionally not so much. But I'm Sicilian so there it is.
