What is this man talking?
Whay not pray Salah and fast of Ashura? If you are troubled by tragedy of Karballa pray extra Nafl prayers to clam your heart.
Remember it is you who you want to save from hell. Imaam Hussain RA is dead. He will be judged on his own deeds by Allah SWT. Praying to him or for him or thru him will not work.

we do pray and fast on Ashoora as well as other ibadats! calm our hearts...can one ever calm their hearts hearing of such a tradgedy? No matter how much you pray whatever you do, you can never 'calm your heart'... and it was meant to be so!
Rasulullah (saw) said that no shaheed dies, he is always alive... are you saying that rasulullah (saw) is lying? Imam Hussain (as) is physically dead but he is alive through other means and will be there till the day of Qayamat.
No one prays for him or to him

and as for through him, if you mean wasila than It is stated in the Quran:
O mumineen seek wasila towards Allah
