About

Welcome

We are so fucking glad to have you here. I'm CJ Infantino, the founder of Unvoiced. Our mission is simple - to make sure no one grieving ever feels alone.

I spent two decades working as an engineer, fortunate enough to be part of companies in Silicon Valley like Facebook (before it became Meta 😉). I'm grateful for that career and the fulfillment it brought me. However, it wasn't until I lost my wife to cancer that I truly understood what it meant to be called.

Ariana and I had almost two decades together, starting from high school. We built an incredible life with our three children. All we wanted was to grow old together, but that dream was shattered when she was diagnosed with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer on my 30th birthday in 2015. After a nearly six-year battle, she passed away on September 30, 2020, at 11:08 AM, amid a global pandemic.

The moment after her last breath, two things hit me. I suddenly felt completely alone, and I was overwhelmed with the fear that I wasn't strong enough to raise our three children on my own.

Over the following years, after countless conversations that ranged from awkward to downright hurtful, a calling began to emerge within me - to change how grievers and those around them experience grief. The more I embraced this calling, the stronger it grew until it became an undeniable need that compelled me to shift my life's focus and energy toward transforming how our world handles grief.

(Or perhaps, I'm just on a foolish mission to heal others' pain as a way to heal my own.)

And so, Unvoiced was born where we have one unwavering focus - to ensure that no griever ever walks alone on their journey.

We are dedicated to giving a voice to the unvoiced, and we hope you will join us on this journey.

With Love,

Through a diverse range of media platforms, including their highly popular podcast, Ashley and CJ Infantino have created a space where individuals can bravely share their personal experiences with grief.

The founders of The Day After, driven by a simple yet profound question, set out to challenge the prevailing narrative surrounding grief: Could they gather a community of individuals who would be willing to open up and share their journeys with grief, ultimately bringing about a transformative shift in how we perceive and understand this complex emotion?

The response they received was nothing short of extraordinary, with countless people stepping forward to share their stories and contribute to a new narrative of compassion, resilience, and healing.

Founder · CEO

He already talked way too much about himself. How much does one person need to go on and on about how sad they are that their wife died? We get it. She died. You left your career in tech and started companies around grief.
