At my age, it is also physically exhausting to be responsible for someone else’s physical needs. Getty Images

Dear Eric: A group of us in our 70s have been going on trips every year for 25 years, but I haven’t enjoyed myself the last couple of years because I have a difficult time not feeling that I need to be a caretaker to one person in our group who has major physical issues. I am constantly watching to make sure the person is safe.
