Jennifer Otte

Jennifer Otte is a grief-support and education practice based in Trier, Germany, offering services locally and online. Guided by the belief that grief needs room, the practice aims to foster a grief-sensitive culture and provide compassionate support to people affected by loss. Individuals can choose from multiweek grief groups, small-group retreats, creative workshops involving writing, painting or Kintsugi, and one-to-one support through conversation, walks or creative activities. Retreats combine time in nature, creative prompts, exchange and quiet, while groups provide opportunities to connect with others who have experienced loss.

For schools and childcare centres, Jennifer Otte offers consultation, training, project days and urgent support when death or grief affects a community. She has worked as a grief counsellor, speaker and specialist author since 2020. Her publications include Kreativbuch für meine Trauer and, co-authored with Ingrid Stork, Meine, deine, unsere Trauer, a guide for families and professionals supporting children and young people through bereavement. The practice also provides events such as readings and online groups.
