"they're putting a brave face on "

Can you let me know what this mean?
I guess it means " to do something wrong shamelessly".
Is that a right guess? or what it means?
Thank you in advance.

BTW, I'm glad to find this news group because I need help to
improve and refine my English.
I have learned that language for years,
but I still need figure out subtle meanings of the words.
Is that fine for me to take advantage of this group?
