A 'Huge, Extravagant' Jewelry Splurge Was In Order After My 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. Want to share what got you through your divorce? Email us at divorce@huffingtonpost.com. 

Now that she's on the other side of divorce, writer Abby King can say with confidence that life is better post-split.
