If you perform such long calculations, you should direct the output to a file, and preferably also take out intermediate results, so that you can restart the calculation after crashes. Then you might let the Front End crash without forsaking anything. Sometimes I have deliberately killed the Front End to free resources, while the Kernel proceeded with its tasks. This does not help you this time, but maybe the next. One way, among other, to take out intermediate results is to let Mathematica print out simple Mathematica code, with the actual values of the parameters inserted. Then these files become readable both for yourself and for Mathematica. Consider also upgrading, if that is an option for you. My impression is that there has been a very substantial improvement in the stability in the later releases, especially for the Front End. But that might be platform dependent.
