Apology For Being Late Sad Reason

Dear {Name},

I apologize again for being late to {event/meeting}. I wanted to write and add some context that I didn't feel comfortable sharing in front of the whole group.

Sadly, my family has been dealing with {personal crisis}. We are all rallying together and see a path forward, but in the meantime something has to give, and unfortunately this time it affected our {team/club/etc.}. I was rushing over from a {medical appointment/financial counselor/etc.}.

Thanks so much for your patience and compassion as we navigate our "new normal." I {don't mind/would prefer that you not} you sharing this information with the others.

Sincerely,

{Name}
