Im so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you

I want to thank everyone for the responses. Its been tough the last few days. I had my blue front for about 25 years, since I was 13 years old.

Some of the hardest things are eating without her, I felt really guilty to eat anything as we eat every meal (she ate out of my dishes) and she would go crazy if I ate something without sharing it with her.

Awe, I know it's extremely difficult, but please don't feel any "guilt", as you did not cause your bird's death...You need to be able to heal from this huge loss in your life, and guilt is a terribly strong barrier in starting that much-needed healing-process...

I'm sure that you're well-aware of all birds having an extremely strong, innate survival instinct that prevents them from showing any and all outward-signs and symptoms of them being at-all sick, injured, or in any pain at all, usually until they've been very sick for a long, long time, sometimes months and months...or longer. Often by the time we as people first notice the very first outward sign of our birds being sick, it's much too late to help them, even if we rush them to our CAV's immediately. And birds are very, very good at hiding all outward signs of illness or pain, the irony of this being that it's a wonderfully useful and necessary survival-instinct for wild birds to possess, but at the same time it's a massive disadvantage and detrimental instinct for birds in captivity to possess...

What you are going through, and the pain and guilt that you're feeling are completely normal, and you're not at all alone. I hope that you know this, and that you'll keep it in-mind and come here to our community for any and all support that you need...Sometimes simply talking to people who have been through the same experience as you are is a life-saver...and we're all here for you...

You better stop beating your self up, it's unwarranted and unhealthy.
I'm not really sure of the steps to recovery, however, there are all these different emotion that come with a significant loss.

You are not at fault..
