Feeling guilty about calling out when we have a skeleton crew and manager and owner were at a funeral

I work a minimum wage job at a franchise. It’s always been really friendly and almost like a second home for me but the owners haven’t been breaking even so we only have like 8 employees right now. I had to call out today cause I had a breakdown (worst one I’ve had in years, I’ve been having panic attacks every couple of minutes). Honestly horrible timing because the owners and our manager (the manager is the owners mother) were at a funeral and they had to leave early cause no one could cover my shift. I feel really bad but also in the back of my head I can’t help but think it’s not my fault that we have 8 employees. Any advice or input would be helpful
