No Longer a Caretaker. What am I?

Billie - agree with the previous comment. You are still a wife
and caregiver. You lovingly sought to provide a better level of care for your spouse. I would recommend a CBT therapist for you to help ease your thoughts of guilt.
Also,
I am considering that step for my Mom who has Mixed Dementia/Alzheimers. It must be very tough to make the decision- but it is a sound and loving decision to make.

I agree with this comment.
You're still a wife, Billie @billiekip , and a caretaker. For your own health, this was a necessary step. Seeing a psychotherapist, if you can afford it, and/or joining a local caretakers group could help you through this stage.

Sending a hug.
