The most important advice that you're getting in a nutshell: you will be just fine if you give yourself a few months off to recover.

This is downtime for emotional and mental health is not optional if you want to avoid burnout.

This is insensitive. Given the situation, it is very wrong to assume that he can afford to take any time off. Where I come from, failing startups don't usually pay that well.

We are both speculating.

However, since it's my comment and I can believe what I believe, I believe that someone in his position cannot afford to not take care of themselves.

People who don't take care of themselves end up hurting or dead.

I agree. I wish you a soft landing on the shutdown. You'll be better than you might imagine. Keep going buddy.
