Lost our 7 month old golden retriever

My 7 month old GR puppy died 5 weeks ago. She was staying at my sister's house for the day and unfortunately she ate something she shouldn't have and she sadly passed within hours. I'm so sad still even though it's been 5 weeks and I regret so much. When we first got Bella I did have puppy blues for a while especially the first 5 weeks. There were days where I wouldn't join my husband on walks as I just needed a break and I was sleep deprived and exhausted but now all I could think is why didn't I go with them? Little things like when Bella scratched the hardwood floors or the wooden coffee table, I did get annoyed with her, never punished of course but momentarily annoyed and now I wish I didn't get annoyed over a piece of furniture and I now look at those scratches and makes me miss her more. I cherish every scratch she made. I just regret so much, I hate that I even had puppy blues and wish I cherried every moment with her. I miss her so much and we both loved her so much. I do hold a bit of resentment towards my sister too as we were always so cautious and careful with Bella, sometimes too cautious, like extra worried parents! I actually didn't feel right about letting my sister look after Bella but I thought to myself we can't be too cautious and let others help. I've dealt with grief before but nobody really close to me. We had Bella at 2 months old and we always wanted a golden, I just feel so sad, feel lots of regret and I wish things were different, my thoughts are consumed by this. Anyone else gone through losing their pets so early?
