1.Bereavement.Understandably, the loss of a loved one can be one of the most painful experiences a person can endure. The shock or enduring worry of losing a friend or relative can lead to stress, especially when the person we lose is a relative or close friend.

Events during and shortly after loss, such as end-of-life care and funeral arrangements contribute to stress and it can take a long time to adjust to not being able to meet or speak to the person, and acceptance of the new circumstance is difficult.
2.worry over health issues.The experience of an illness, and the loss of control over events, can lead to persistent worry about both the current and possible future situations. Paradoxically, the stress caused by health worries can itself lead to problems and the body’s reaction to stress, General Adaptation Syndrome, can have physical effects as we deplete our energy reserves to cope with a stressful situation.
3.Academic and social pressures
As children get older, stress often comes in the form of academic and social pressures (especially the desire to fit in). In addition, well-meaning parents sometimes unwittingly add to the stress in their children's lives by having great expectations for their children, who may lack their parents' motivation or capabilities. Parents who push their children to excel in sports or who enrol their children in too many activities may also cause unnecessary stress and frustration if their children don't share their goals.
loss of job.Losing a job is one of life's most stressful experiences. It's normal to feel angry, hurt, or depressed, grieve at all that you've lost, or feel anxious about what the future holds. Job loss and unemployment involves a lot of change all at once, which can rock your sense of purpose and self-esteem. While the stress can seem overwhelming, there are many things you can do to come out of this difficult period stronger, more resilient, and with a renewed sense of purpose.
5.The demands of caregiving can be overwhelming, especially if you feel you're in over your head or have little control over the situation. If the stress of caregiving is left unchecked, it can take a toll on your health, relationships, and state of mind — eventually leading to burnout. However, there are plenty of things you can do to rein in the stress of caregiving and regain a sense of balance, joy, and hope in your life.
