It refers to a burden that one has to carry on their own. It doesn't always mean that it is a physical burden, it may be a psychological burden. It isn't something that can be shared or off loaded. It is a reference to the Biblical account that Jesus Christ carried his own cross. But he wasn't able to and was helped to carry it. The correct spelling is bear, not bare.
