Amber Stenger Kansas EOL Doula
As a certified end-of-life doula, my goal is to help people experience greater meaning, comfort and peace as they navigate one of life’s most profound transitions. I am also a longtime volunteer (and huge fan!) of Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care.
For more than 15 years, I have served Kansas City Hospice in a variety of volunteer roles. I’ve provided companionship and respite care, sat vigil with patients, created audio keepsakes through Lasting Conversations and supported patients and families in both private homes and skilled nursing facilities. I also served as a co-facilitator for a preteen grief support group at Solace House, helping young people navigate loss and grief in a safe and supportive environment.
Becoming an end-of-life doula deepened my understanding of the emotional, practical and spiritual needs that can arise at the end of life. It also strengthened my appreciation for the vital role hospice teams play in supporting patients and families. I consider it a true privilege to collaborate with the dedicated professionals at Kansas City Hospice and to walk alongside individuals and their loved ones during this meaningful stage of life.
