The Sweet, Reassuring Thing My Daughter Told Me After Divorce


If there's ever a time you need a little distraction in your life, it's during the divorce process. That's why we launched our Divorce Care Package series. With each post, we'll show you what things -- books, movies, recipes -- helped others relieve stress in the midst of divorce, in the hopes that a few of their picks will serve you well too.

A year ago, writer Kerry Neville and her husband divorced after 16 years of marriage. Neville, who blogs about post-split life and parenting with bipolar disorder at Momma May Be Mad, admits she's still reeling from the big life change. When she needs reassurance that life will get better, she remembers the sweet, offhand remark her 13-year-old daughter made during a long car ride shortly after the divorce.


Below, Neville shares what her daughter told her -- and tells us what other things have helped her heal this last year.
