When one of my clients became terminally ill, I found myself with a great responsibility.  ​As a certified event planner, she had come to me to quickly organize a family reunion.  She wanted her children to know their distant relatives.  Determined to make her wish come true, I began planning.  As my client became more ill, I relied on long distance phone calls to her family, especially her sister.  Our conversations led to me becoming the link between the sisters.

Sadly, on a rainy day in mid-May, my client passed away before the family gathering could take place.  Family members and relatives would now be traveling to her funeral, not her envisioned reunion.  Unfortunately, my focus shifted from planning to consoling the sister and I’d grown to know via our correspondence.

On the evening of the visitation, I walked into a filled funeral home.  I was determined to pay my respects and console my client’s sister.  ​I had no idea it was going to be so difficult.


No one person stood out; she could have been anyone in the room.  I began looking for anyone who resembled my client.  I observed several older ladies hugging and crying.  Is one of them her mother? I noticed a group of women about her age. Is her sister in that group?

I approached a group of associates to point out her sister.  They did not know she had a sister. They asked me, "Is her mother here"?  I had no clue.  Extremely frustrated, I left with hopes of finding her sister at the funeral the next day.  The following morning, in a crowded chapel, a woman walked up to the pulpit.  “This letter was written by my sister," she said. 

I was shocked, sad and angry!  You see, I had seen the same women the day before —the sister I had become acquainted with — at the ​visitation, standing all alone smoking on the porch of the funeral home.  Nobody knew who she was, nor did she know anyone present, either.

My mind was racing: how did this happen?   How could this be possible?  This is so incredibly sad.  This is not the time for the immediate family to repeatedly introduce themselves, nor should any funeral staff point out family.   That is where the concept of Kin-Soul began.

Kin-Soul was developed to silently identifies who is the immediate family to the deceased, worn in honor of their loved one.  
Kin-Soul quickly and quietly pronounces who is part of the immediate family to friends, coworkers and other attendees wishing to pay their respects.

No longer will a family member sit alone, while visitors are unaware who they are.​ No longer will anyone have to stress over guessing who the family is or stand next to a grieving family member unaware of who they are. 

Kin-Soul silently points out the immediate family, worn in honor of their loved one and gives everyone the ability to console the family with ease.  

Thank you for supporting Kin-Soul and its many purposes,
