Pastoral counseling sessions involve not only a closer reading of narrative identity but also challenging the influence of the master narratives in the culture that influence personal narratives of the counselee. By highlighting re-storying narratives, the client and counselor can enter into a process of relating human experiences to the presence of God. This article aims to explore pastoral theological implications while considering narrative identity and its change concerning love experiences. The concept of Eros is analyzed to explicate and preserve the alterity of the Others in the works of Emmanuel Levinas. Love experiences show that caring for ourselves requires attending to our narrative identity and narrative changes, as shown through Kent Haruf’s novel Our Souls at Night. The personal identity of the main characters continues to develop and change through love experiences weaving the influences of social and cultural context. This study considers how creating personal narrative may become more integrative in late adult years and beyond as we seek to bring the opposing themes of agency, communion, anxiety, death, and generativity together. Finally, pastoral theological implications for narrative identity and its change are sketched about the roles of confining stories, backstories, and under-told stories/ untold stories concerning a narrative psychological lens. This study also explores the themes of Otherness of the counselee, the theological narratives, and their guiding images. As pastoral counselors care for the stories of love experiences, the practice of story care can lead to psychological growth and a significant transformation of the narrative identity of the counselee in God’s presence.
