To recover for negligent infliction of emotional distress, __________________ (plaintiff) must prove that:
[(1) __________________ (plaintiff) had a close family relationship with __________________ (victim);] and
[(2) as a result of seeing or perceiving the occurrence __________________ (plaintiff) suffered severe emotional distress;] and
[(3) the occurrence resulted in physical injury or death to __________________ (victim)].
Emotional distress is "severe" if it is of such an intensity and duration that no ordinary person would be expected to tolerate it. [__________________ (plaintiff) cannot recover for grief or sorrow normally attending the [death] [injury] of a family member.]
