unshouldered
Removed from back
Unshouldered means removed from the shoulder or set down after being carried: He unshouldered his pack and sat down to rest.
The word also describes something never taken on as a burden: unshouldered responsibilities, unshouldered grief.
In the first sense, a load has been put down; in the second, it was never picked up.
