When faced with guilt or shame, many people pull away because they simply are not brave enough to face the consequences of their actions, writes Amy Dickinson.

During the pandemic in 2020, my middle daughter passed away suddenly.My oldest daughter and youngest daughter immediately flew out to her town.I had an accident years ago and lost a great portion of my hearing, so navigating an airport was just too stressful for me to handle alone.Sadly, I did not get to attend the funeral.I got no response.Last week was my birthday and I received birthday wishes from one of my daughters.

When faced with guilt or shame, many people pull away because they simply are not brave enough to face the consequences of their actions.
