To feel so guilty handing my notice in?

I was made redundant last year due to covid. I was extremely fortunate to walk into another job straight away, but in an entirely different sector. It was not something I would have chosen, but the management have made me feel extremely welcome, provided expensive training and even a bonus at Christmas, despite the fact I had only been there 5 minutes.
I attended an interview last week for a job in an in a sector I am extremely passionate about and the one which I studied at college. I have been trying to break into this sector for quite some time but it is quite competitive with lots of applicants for positions. Much to my delight I was offered the position yesterday.
However I feel extremely guilty about handing my notice in at my current workplace given how lovely they have been. I am off today and am getting anxious about making the call, more anxious than i was for actually attending the interview for the new job! Help me summon up the courage!

Well, it's done! I got the impression my boss wasn't too pleased but he had the grace to congratulate me on my new job. I have explained pretty much what I have in my op and offered to train the new recruit for my position once they find one.
Feel bad for them but glad it's done.

No offence OP, but aside from the tedium that is the recruitment process, I'm sure they're not that bothered. Everyone is replacable, don't feel bad.
