I Missed Her Father's Burial for Work and She Ended Our Relationship

I met this lady in my estate in 2022, but we only reconnected this May after I found her number. Our first two dates went well. We both said we wanted something serious, but she guarded her past and kept details private. A few weeks in, she called me crying that her dad had just died. Shaken, I offered my condolences and promised to call back. Work stress delayed me for three days, and she felt abandoned. We agreed I’d attend her family’s wake-keep and burial. But a time-sensitive client issue forced me to cancel a day before. She said I’d shown no effort and ended the relationship on the spot. I sent her some cash afterward, hoping to smooth things over. Since then, I’ve tried reaching out but got no real response. I still care about her and feel exhausted trying to explain myself.
