Do you think you would feel guilty it someone you loved died alone?

In 2004 my dad was in the hospital. My mother & I were taking turns sleeping there with him so he wouldn't be alone. We were both so tired. It was my turn & I had not gotten any sleep for 2 weeks. My fiance' said I should go home & he would bring me back in the morning. I woke up really early that morning. I took about an hour to even attempt getting out of bed. As soon as I got up the phone started to ring & I just started to cry because I knew he was gone. I can't get over this guilty feeling. I wish I was there just the hold his hand. Someone told me that maybe he didn't want us to be there & watch him die. Someone else told me that sometimes people tell you things right before they die & I wonder if he had something to tell me that I missed. Would you feel guilty if you didn't make it back to be at the side of someone you loved? What advise can you give me?
