Informational and Discussion Website about 

Death and Dying

www.umirani.cz is the address of an information and discussion web portal initiated and developed in 2005 by the Homecoming hospice civic association (Cesta domů). This wide ranging portal is designed to provide required information, to establish a contact and to mediate advisory services regarding the end of life, dying, death, care for terminally ill patients, dying people and mourners. Its contents are helpful at times when the need to learn is greater than the fear of its name itself.

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 throughout our lives. A team of people from a number of fields are working on the content philosophy, project preparation, programming as well as the portal production itself. Their professions work together to create a mosaic of the entire portal – doctors, lawyers, social workers, nurses, psychologists, priests, librarians, people familiar with the Internet environment, programmers. In the virtual background you will also find the entire Homecoming mobile home hospice team, because their experience from home hospice care operations forms an important resource as well as impulse for portal operation.
