This conceptual research article develops an eschatological-hope-based pastoral counseling model for congregants experiencing bereavement. Bereavement is not only an affective response to death but also a disruption of meaning, embodied routines, social belonging, and theological imagination. Contemporary grief research has clarified the distinction between normative grief, prolonged grief disorder, complicated spiritual grief, and the heterogeneous trajectories through which bereaved persons adapt. However, pastoral responses in local churches often remain fragmented, oscillating between sympathetic presence, doctrinal explanation, ritual care, and informal advice without an integrated model that is clinically cautious and theologically constructive. This study employs a qualitative constructive literature review, synthesizing bereavement psychology, meaning reconstruction theory, spiritual care research, and Christian eschatological theology. The article proposes the PASTOR model: Presence, Assessment, Story, Scripture, Theological lament, Ongoing communal practice, and referral and review. The main synthesis argues that eschatological hope should not be used to bypass grief but to hold lament, embodied absence, continuing bonds, and future-oriented resurrection hope within a disciplined pastoral process. The model contributes a practical framework for churches seeking to accompany mourners without medicalizing ordinary grief, minimizing suffering, or ignoring cases that require professional mental health referral.

Poetry is a form of literary work that is full of meaning and beauty, as a result of protective expressions and feelings that are bound by certain elements such as rhythm, meter, rhyme, lyric composition, and stanzas. In this study, we investigate the meaning of metaphors expressed by authors in poetry. Lafamane (2020:1) and Sumardi (in Lafamane:2020) emphasize that poetry is condensed, shortened and given rhythm with imaginative figurative words. Herbert Spencer (in Lafamane: 2020) added emotional dimensions and beauty as important elements in poetry. Thus, the meaning of metaphor in poetry explores the emotional depth and beauty expressed by the author through figurative language that captivates the reader. Through analyzing the meaning of metaphor, we can understand more deeply the essence of poetry and the richness of the author's imagination in conveying messages beautifully and captivatingly.
