I (28F) have a senior colleague (42M) who has been out of office for weeks now. I consider him as a friend and a good mentor who has taught me a lot and supported me in my career in the past. He would also check in on me before when he saw me struggling in the past.
I reached out to him a few weeks ago to check why he has been out of office for an extended period of time and he just answered me with a general response that he's sorting some things out. It's been a few weeks and I heard some rumors about him being out of office due to a complaint filed against him. Would it be okay to message again and ask if he's okay and would need any support? I'm just worried that he feels depressed about all this and would like to extend my support to him the way he did to me in the past. Or would it be wise to just not message at all? I don't intend on discovering the real reason he's out but I just want to give emotional support as I know how difficult it must be to be going through something like this.
