My advice to you is simply this: Tell anyone who asks why you are no longer doing something (such as the high profile volunteer work) that you are unable to do it at this point in your life. Period. You don't need to explain to anyone why. Many people feel they are entitled to more information than they truly are. What we choose to tell people is our own business.
