Confessions - I'm dreading Christmas this year, the first since my husband left

Today Anna tackles a new anonymous Confession from the Therapy Room;

"I am dreading Christmas this year. My first since my husband left. My kids are already counting down but I want to go to bed, open my eyes, and it be over."

Anna replies with some compassionate advice and tips that will help everyone, regardless of whether they can relate to this confession or not.
