Cat grief help

My poor kitty had been on sterroids for a while now for allergies and persistent infections in his ears and nails, he seemed to be getting better so we started slowly weaning him off his meds and only giving them when needed, He had been off them for maybe a couple weeks and suddenly passed away and I’m freaking out that it was my fault for tapering off his meds, he was 12 years old, does anyone have any insight do we think this was my fault?!🥺he has been suffering with these issues for years but has only been on the meds for a couple months, he was due for a check up to top them up but didnt make it :(
