Thanks for asking for help in a difficult situation! It sounds like your co-founder is going through a tough situation, and it's great that you want to help. Here are some things you can do: Listen actively: Let your co-founder vent and express their feelings freely without judgment. Sometimes just having a listening ear can be incredibly helpful. Validate their emotions: A simple "That must be really tough" or "I can see why you'd be feeling this way" can go a long way. Focus on what they can control: help them focus on what they can control moving forward. Maybe it's reaching out to a mentor/friend in your network who can help? Just be there: Sometimes the best support is simply being there for them. Let them know you care and are there for them however they need you. (You included some irrelevant details about stock and cliffs, but I can understand it's an emotional time and you may not be able to think coherently.)
