Dear {Name},
I am so sorry for my inappropriate words. You were right to call me out. What I said wasn't funny; it was rude and hurtful.
As a {first responder/journalist/etc.}, I sometimes rely on gallows humor to cope. I should have known that {disease/situation/etc.} is no laughing matter.
Please know that in the future, I will treat the situation with the gravity that it deserves.
Sincerely,
{Name}
