Lost my sugar glider

Idk what to do I lost my pet sugar glider 4 hours ago and I feel so guilty We had her for about 5 years, and in those 5 years our family had to endure so much (during COVID). We had to sell our house, we moved twice, lost our jobs, lost our dog.. and she was always there with us. Her name was coco and at nights I would sit alone on the sofa she would come up to me and snuggle up and lick my fingers and feet (🥹)

Just last night I was playing with her and brought her to my room to sleep (we let her run around the house bc we dont have a cage for her), then when I woke up in the morning I saw her dead, I thought she was sleeping but I touched her and she was already in rigormortis. I’m so sad and I feel so guilty that maybe it was me who killed her, maybe she was dehydrated or maybe she got electrocuted or I don’t know and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do I can’t stop crying I really loved her. And I feel so guilty that I wasn’t there when she needed me I don’t know why it’s hitting me so hard but the house feels empty without her and I feel like I just lost a family member even when she’s a sugar glider

We buried her 3 hours ago I think and I can’t get that image of me discovering her stiff body out of my head I feel like it’s all my fault It was so sudden too because last night she was still energetic and running around

Anyways I needed a place to say this and idk where else to. Idk how I can get over this, like I feel distraught being in my room
