I can totally relate to how hard it is this time of year. Especially when the kids are gone.
For me the first two years I did something fun for myself, one year I went skiing. Take care of yourself as well as you can afford to. Get a manicure, go to yoga, get out of the house. Make the life you dreamed of having.
I would also imagine that I was I was Jackie O or Angelina Jolie or some other movie star and imagine how they would act if their husband left them. How they would never let the world see how they were devastated.
