In frantic emergency rooms and otherwise sterile corridors, the
AngelKIT™ is designed to bring basic human comfort
to hospital patients nearing death. It's meant to aid the
hospital's staff and those others who are directly involved in
experiencing a patient, friend, or family member's passing.
Knowledge of the dying process, and its physical signs, can make
all the difference in being able to create a calm, comforting
environment. The AngelKIT™ gives
professionals and laypersons tools to help ensure terminally ill
patients pass with a sense of honor and dignity.
After surviving colon cancer in 2006, Susan decided to dedicate
her life to supporting families dealing with serious illness and
help those with a relationship, whether professional or familial,
to someone who is near death.Susan Binau's deepest wish is to give
people hope, inspiration, and tools to face difficult times. Since
her own near- death journey, she has spoken with thousands of
people-healthcare professionals,relatives of the dying and
terminally ill, and children left behind after a parent's
passing-who've provided her with priceless knowledge that she
carries in her heart each and every day.
The idea of the AngelKIT™ came to Susan in
a dream. The premise is twofold. First, it's to help caregivers
feel less alone in the process of losing a loved one; secondly, to
help caregivers realize that simple things can make a big
difference in the way their loved one experiences the process of
death. This kit's purpose is to make death as dignified as possible
for the dying person, and as gentle as possible on their
relatives.
