They seek to reveal death and suicide so that it ceases to be taboo and becomes part of life.
They say that fear before death is a “universal affair,” that “often fear of death is also associated with fear of life and living.” Children usually start to worry about death at about seven to eight years old and say that this is the ideal time to approach the issue. “The goal should be to approach the issue of death, not only through anguish or trauma, but also by nurturing gratitude,” says Izagir.
Music and voice are one of the main tools used by Patxi and Ane Izagirre when dealing with the issue of death, both in prevention and when it comes to treating grief. They explain that “music reaches places where the word does not reach.”

Psychologists say that behind suicide is extreme suffering. “Part of what’s behind it is the need to develop mental health further, that is, to externalize that suffering, to share it, to expose it, to ask for help... In other words, the urgency of not being alone and being accompanied.”
