Welcome to Mary’s Garden

We are a resource whose mission is to offer hope, healing, encouragement and inspiration to anyone who is struggling to move forward in life after losing a loved one to suicide.

In our garden we cultivate stories, ideas, knowledge, and wisdom in the form of educational videos, music, and art from those who helped pave a way for us to grow.

We hope that you decide to stay a while, watch and rewatch our videos, take some notes, and walk away feeling spiritually nourished for the journey ahead. We’re all in this together, and we are glad that you're here.

Sincerely,

Danny, Deanna, Lee, Yuliya, Jennifer, Susan, and John.

Healing is a central theme in our work. We believe that through storytelling and cinematic artistry, we can help individuals on their journey towards healing and recovery. These films offer a therapeutic space where audiences can find solace, relate to the experiences of others, and begin the process of healing from their own wounds.

Above all, we aspire to inspire. Mary's Garden Media films are not just about highlighting the struggles; they are about showcasing the resilience of the human spirit, the capacity for transformation, and the ability to find hope even in the darkest of times. Our films serve as a source of encouragement and empowerment, motivating individuals to seek support, reach out to others, and choose life over despair.

Through our dedication to the power of film and storytelling, Mary's Garden Media stands as a beacon of hope, striving to make a positive impact on the lives of those who have experienced tragic loss. Together, we can turn stories of sorrow into narratives of strength, resilience, and renewal.

A Deeper Look into Mary's Life

Mary's Garden Media was named in honor of Mary Yahara, a passionate health care professional who touched the lives of many who battled with mental illness, and who's own life was cut short by this disease. Her garden was her sanctuary, the place where she found beauty and joy in life.
