This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.
“I'm worried about my own foolishness up until now, and only rushing in with unavoidable regrets”... shame is important. I was also allowed to handle the following questions.
The question “How do I get out of my feelings of regret?”

Question “I can't change my mind.”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/178
Good deeds from regret, remorse, and shame are important. This means, of course, never repeating similar mistakes again, making sincere apologies and making amends, and generally striving for better deeds.
Reincarnation, causal retaliation... anyway, when you first think about the problem of accumulation of acts (karma) in this world, for example, if you want to eliminate the accumulation of bad acts against friends and family that have caused trouble, make sincere apologies and make amends, and endeavor to do good deeds (simply good deeds that are useful and good acts that are useful for others), and I think it is possible to erase that accumulation of bad deeds.
Actually, try to sincerely apologize and make amends to that friend or family member. I'm sure you'll be able to feel that the heart (inheritance) has suffered less than its current state.
Of course, not limited to this, if we end this life with the accumulation of several bad karma remaining, that state (of mental inheritance) will have a big impact on the next life in reincarnation, and the practice of karma that has been accumulated from past lives will also have an impact.
I think the following questions will also be helpful when it comes to matters after death.
The question “What happens when you die?”

Question “About your ancestors”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/153
Question “When you die, you go to hell”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/203
Anyway, saying that there is no afterlife is inappropriate because it leads to the theory of annihilation, but rather than after death, I think it would be preferable to first think about how to adjust the state of mental inheritance in this world through confirmed Buddhist relationships and good works.
