Heather Bell takes out the wedding dress and feeds it to the wood chipper, with grace and without any traces of mascara running down her face. Bell asks the question we all weep over: how will I ever love again? and then takes us from the breakdown to the breakthrough. I step back quickly as you do when a caged thing moves, Bell writes; be ready to stay quick on your feet.
