This may not be feasible or desirable but is there a competitor in this space that could benefit from an acquihire? Of course you're at risk of them exploiting that situation, so you might have to pursue multiple parties for several weeks to get a fair bid.

All the best with your personal circumstance

Edit: by acquihire I mean the other person you've hired.

Thank you. Appreciate the advice and kind wishes.

For better or worse, I have been exploring acquihire for a few weeks already, with several interested parties. However those discussions have not included the current circumstance, where I personally would not be 100% involved post-acquisition. I imagine this could be a dealbreaker.
