Authors Devastating Loss of Wife and Two Children to HIV/AIDS Inspire's New Book "Out of the Ashes"

LAKE TAHOE, Nev. - April 20, 2014 - PRLog -- How do we deal with the loss of the people we love the most? Can a man who watches his wife and children die one after the other find the strength to move forward and find peace? Benjamin Scott Allen’s new book “Out of The Ashes; Healing in the Afterloss” explores the universal themes of loss, recovery and healing offering hope and encouragement to anyone who has ever, or will ever, face profound tragedy in their life.

The book chronicles the author’s journey through the loss of his wife and two sons to the same devastating illness. Over the course of thirteen years, Benjamin’s family died one by one, leaving him alone in the Afterloss. The world of pain and grief left him reeling. His journey to peace is shared in raw, powerful words that will help others heal in the wake of their own loss.

“Grief cannot be forced,” states the author. “There is no cookie cutter approach to how grief works. It works in the natural rhythm of who you are and what you are feeling. Feel what is natural for you and not what someone else thinks you need to be.”

“Out of the Ashes; Healing in the Afterloss” offers the reader a deep and moving exploration of loss and healing that is achingly painful and at the same time inspiring and beautiful. The book’s themes are universal and can help anyone who has ever, or will ever, loose what is most important to them. It’s both a love story and a journey of healing.
