Hmm. My separation and divorce were, relatively speaking, such non-events, that I don't even remember how I spent my anniversary. I think I probably forgot it (par for the course during my marriage, so nothing really changed).
However, if hers is a little more meaningful, I would try to distract her as much as possible doing non-anniversary-type things. No dinners, no activities where you have to sit around and there is time for contemplation (i.e., no sitting on a beach). Anything that she likes to do that is active and distracting is good. Shopping, anything athletic, anything involving walking around etc.
