Terrible guilt- causing depression?

My uncle recently passed away very quickly at a reasonably young age. I never knew him as we were never close to that side of the family when i was growing up. Since the passing of my uncle I have so much guilt for the fact I never tried to reach out as I got older. He lived alone and had no children but from what iv heard fully enjoyed his life, the guilt I feel for leaving it to late to try and get to know him is well and truly taking over. I think about it all the time and its starting to effect me. I know there's nothing I can do to change it but has anyone got any tips to help me move on?

Flowers Sorry about the loss of your uncle.

It doesn’t sound like he made an effort to reach out to you either. You might have had a nice relationship, but maybe not.
You might consider getting some professional help since it’s bothering you so much.
