Don't use "kill -9".  Use "kill -TERM" or just "kill".

When emacs gets a SIGTERM termination signal, it saves all its unsaved
buffers and writes a list of them to ~/.saves-$PID-$HOST.  Then you
can start a new emacs and run "M-X recover-session".

It's not a great solution, but it will keep you from losing unsaved
work.
