When startup peer groups can't handle real failure

Our startup cohort from the accelerator stays in touch and everyone posts about their wins but when someone's really struggling we don't know how to talk about it. Last week one of us had to lay off half their team and we all just liked the LinkedIn post about 'difficult but necessary decisions' instead of actually reaching out.
