How should I approach her and apologise?

[Anonymous]

I have had a lot of worries lately, one of my family members has been ill and I have been extremely worried about them. The knock on effect of this is that my mood of late hasn't been the best, A woman who I know likes me has become angry with me because I probably haven't shown her a lot of attention lately.

I feel awful about this and realise it could be too late to repair, but how do I approach her to genuinely say I'm sorry

Tell her that a family member is unwell and you’ve been focusing on that.
If she doesn’t know why you’ve not bothered with her, of course she’s going to be annoyed.
