Your Path to Recovery and Lasting Well-being
Understanding Grief and How it Can Affect You
At Apogee Behavioral Medicine, we offer compassionate, trauma-informed grief counseling services across North Carolina. Whether you’re mourning the death of a loved one, coping with a loss of identity, or facing a major life transition, our licensed therapists are here to help you navigate your unique grief process. Through personalized support, we provide both in-person and online therapy in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
Understanding Grief and How it Can Affect You
Grief is a deeply personal experience that touches every area of life—emotional, mental, physical, social, and spiritual. While often associated with death, grief can also stem from the loss of relationships, jobs, pets, or one’s sense of identity. Everyone grieves in their own way, and there is no “right” timeline or path.
The grief process is unpredictable and often nonlinear. Individuals may cycle through intense sadness, numbness, guilt, or even anger. At Apogee, we believe that understanding this process is the first step toward healing and that grief counseling offers essential support in moments of profound transition.
Types of Grief Counseling Services at Apogee Behavioral Medicine
Our team provides grief counseling to individuals and families across North Carolina. Whether you’re dealing with sudden loss or prolonged mourning, our services are tailored to your experience.
Individual counseling offers a private space to explore difficult emotions, process trauma, and build resilience. Group counseling, including bereavement support groups, connects individuals who are navigating similar losses and offers community healing. These sessions provide a supportive setting to share stories, listen to others, and move forward together.
We also welcome adults and families of hospice patients into our programs, offering ongoing support regardless of whether their loved one received care through Apogee.
Signs & Symptoms of Grief
Grief is a natural response to loss, but it can manifest in many emotional, physical, and behavioral ways. While each person’s experience is unique, there are common signs that indicate someone may be grieving. Understanding these symptoms can help you recognize when you or a loved one might benefit from additional support. Grief can affect daily functioning and overall well-being, especially when symptoms persist or become overwhelming.
Common signs and symptoms of grief include:
-
Persistent sadness or emotional numbness
-
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
-
Fatigue, low energy, or disrupted sleep
-
Changes in appetite or weight
-
Social withdrawal or loss of interest in activities
-
Feelings of guilt, regret, or anger
-
Physical symptoms such as headaches or stomachaches
-
Crying spells or sudden emotional outbursts
-
Anxiety or restlessness
-
Difficulty accepting the loss or preoccupation with the deceased
If these symptoms interfere with your ability to function or last longer than expected, it may be time to seek professional help.
