How to handle when friends aren't pulling their weight in shared commitments

My best friend and I started volunteering at the food bank together but lately she's been missing shifts and I end up covering for her and I'm starting to feel resentful but I also know she's going through a hard time and I don't want to be the person who makes her feel worse about not being able to show up.

More people experience this than they realize.
