I Am Devastated
I made a mistake at work that effects people I care about deeply. In 30 years I have never felt failure so intensely.

Been there. Took me a while to recover. Know what though? The reason you were able to make that mistake was that you have done your job so well for so long that nobody bothered looking over your shoulder.
It hurts, I know. But don't wallow so deeply in the one error that you forget 29 years of good work. I made that mistake myself, but was blessed with a boss who put it in perspective for me.
Your employer is still better off with you than without you.
