Listed below are a number of difficult or stressful things that sometimes happen to people. For each event check one or more of the boxes to indicate that: (a) it happened to you personally, (b) you witnessed it happen to someone else, (c) you learned about it happening to someone close to you, (d) you’re not sure if it fits, or (e) it doesn’t apply to you.
