Information and Discussion Website about 
Death and Dying

www.umirani.cz is the address of an information and discussion web portal developed and run since 2005 by the Homecoming hospice civic association (Cesta domů). This wideranging portal is designed to provide information, to establish contact and to mediate advisory services regarding the end of life, dying, death, care for terminally ill patients, care for dying people and care for the bereaved. Its content is helpful at the time when the need for information is greater than the fear of the portal´s name.

This portal really covers a wide spectrum of themes and approaches. The scope of the portal is as broad as the role that death itself plays in our lives. A team of people from a number of fields are working on the content philosophy, projects preparation, programming as well as the portal production itself. They work together to create the mosaic that is the portal – doctors, lawyers, social workers, nurses, psychologists, priests, librarians, people familiar with the Internet environment, programmers, editors, translators. In the virtual background you will also find the entire Homecoming mobile hospice team, because their experience of how the home hospice care works forms an important resource as well as impulse for the portal functionning.
