My husband forgot our wedding anniversary yesterday. I know that it's part of his condition and that I shouldn't take it personally, but it was a milestone anniversary and I was really upset. Has anyone else had similar experiences with someone you love forgetting anniversaries or birthdays? If so, how did you deal with it?

Do you have any tips on how to practically and emotionally deal with someone not remembering birthdays and anniversaries?
We're including more real life experiences of dementia in our Living with Dementia magazine, and we'd love to hear from you.
Please add your comments below, and we may feature them in the next issue of the magazine.
