The taking more commissions despite not completing work to the point of being overwhelmed and having such a truly massive backlog happened over a long time, not just whatever happened in March that she has brought up. She admits herself not being able to 'bring herself' to do the right thing, and the responsible thing and close the commissions. That's a hole she chose to dig for herself.
Please read the artist's own words.
Also making a journal asking people who commissioned you to contact you(which is her now current journal, but she also tried to deflect blame back onto a buyer who missed that journal for their art not being finished in the journal she had posted about raising prices but has since deleted) is not professional and reflects badly on her. Yes, it happens to the best of us but she really needs to get her information organised. The customer should not have to chase her down.
It would go a long way for goodwill for her to make an effort to find and contact those people. Even if it does mean going through notes one by one, at least with email you can search within your inbox and that's why many bustling commission artists eschew notes in favour of email. FA notes can be unreliable.
