Incline Village, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/12/2014 -- With the holiday season approaching, many individuals see the season as a time to celebrate and spend time with family. Others, who are living in loss, see the holidays as a time where grief and sorrow has reached the highest point of the year. Struggling through loss over many years and holidays, Benjamin Scott Allen, author of "Out of The Ashes; Healing in the Afterloss" has written a blog describing his personal experiences and how the holiday season has forever changed.

Allen lost his wife and two sons to HIV/AIDS in the span of 13 years. Each death was met with grief and the struggle to cope as life moved on without them. It took some time, but Allen found peace, and his story is sure to bring comfort to others who are looking to read books for grieving the loss of a child. His most recent blog post, entitled "Holidays and Loss" takes his audience through the difficult times of dealing with the holidays.

It came slowly for Allen, as he was faced with one loss after another. His wife, Lydia, and son Bryan passed first, and he spent the holidays balancing joy and sorrow in the company of his son, Matt. Their holiday experience was lived in the shadow of their lost family members. Though he was strong for his son, the last loss was the toughest. Writes Allen, "We missed Bryan. We missed Lydia. Matt died three years later on November 10, 1995. I did not participate in Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years. The holidays that the world around me celebrated went on without me."

He lets his readers see how he has coped with the loss of loved ones, and continued to prosper through their unconditional love. His unique perspective on dealing with death provides readers with a first-hand account of how to carry on through the year, especially the holidays. The relationship Allen has with his family is continuing to evolve, and as he writes, "Life is different. Love is different. But time did not freeze. The river still flows and everywhere I go, they go."

Incline Village, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/06/2014 -- The Afterloss was written by Benjamin Scott Allen to help others deal with the loss of a loved one. Allen tragically lost his wife and two sons to HIV/AIDS in a 10-year span. After another decade of grief and emotional suffering, he came to a state of peace, and began offering tips for those in his situation to deal with loss. Allen has recently written about grief and its borders to life and loss through which he discusses coping with loss.

His blog post, entitled, "Grief – The Borders of Life and Loss," walks readers through each day, explaining how a significant loss can lead to questions without answers and into the Afterloss. Writes Allen, "It is a place of solitude and solace as well as the land of isolation and pain. It is where every emotion lives in the vacuous realms of love. It is the ultimate limbo state of numbness where everything hurts. It is the border of yesterday and today."

When dealing with loss, think about the loss from all angles. Learn from the loss, and live with the loss, moving into a place of acceptance. When looking for books on grief and loss, The Afterloss helps individuals fill the emptiness inside them, restore meaning to their life, and enjoy the memories of the lost.

Incline Village, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/05/2014 -- On September 25, from 10 am -12 pm, Benjamin Scott Allen is pleased to announce his book launch at Bryan's House in Dallas, TX. Allen will be sharing his story and signing copies of the book, "Out of The Ashes; Healing in the Afterloss," a memoir written in remembrance of his wife Lydia, and two sons, Bryan and Matthew, who all lost their lives to HIV/AIDS. Individuals, family, and friends are invited to Bryan's House, located at 3610 Pipestone Road in Dallas.

His words will help anyone currently dealing with a death, and comfort them in their effort to find peace during their difficult situation. Allen's book is real and powerful, and he will share his journey, reflect on his story, and answer any questions to help find love and peace within the loss.

Bryan Allen was merely a few months old when his mother, Lydia, found out that the blood she received from a transfusion during the delivery of her older son, Matthew, carried the HIV virus. Lydia, Matthew and Bryan all tested positive for AIDS. In 1985, at 8 months old, Bryan became one of the first children in the Dallas area to die from AIDS. In the subsequent years, Lydia and Matt succumbed to the AIDS virus as well.

"Lydia never lost focus on what the house was there to do and for whom," reads an excerpt from Out of the Ashes: Healing in the Afterloss. "She wanted to leave something meaningful behind, something that made sense out of the senselessness we faced daily. There was never any doubt that Lydia's myopic effort of bringing this house into fruition was to ease the path of families like Lynn's. She didn't care all that much about leaving behind a name: but she did leave an indelible trace of spirit in a house that still cares for children today."

Today, Bryan's House has expanded its services to include all children with a medical condition in need. Benjamin Scott Allen said, "To launch this book at Bryan's House is very special to me. To see how the vision and hard work of Lydia and Stephanie had has continued to care for children in need means as much to me as sharing our experiences of grief, loss and love through this book."

Allen's book is one of the best books on grief and bereavement currently available. He teaches individuals how to live beyond the loss and presents them with a healing space that continues to embrace and validate the journey of coping with loss.
