Go slowly and take your time with the hamster. Feed him from a spoon that you are holding, then gradually work up to touching with a stick. Pet him with the stick for awhile and then try your finger. Eventually the hamster will warm up to you.
If he's a biter, then you should talk to him for a bit so he gets used to your voice, then try. If that doesn't work, make sure your hand does not smell like food or you fed him. Or leave your hand in there for a bit. Dwarf hamsters are known for biting you at first.

Unfortunately guilt is not something that just goes away, you will just have to learn how to live with it. It has been 40 years since I was making circles in my driveway on my bicycle with our dog cocoa beside me, I still remember vividly how I made one circle too close to the highway and cocoa was run over by a passing car. He was just being a good friend and I killed him by not being careful. The memory will always be there but the pain will fade in time and hopefully as with me you will have learned the lesson your pet died to teach you.
