My husband of 59 years is forgetting who I am. I keep telling him, but what should I do?

thank you so much! because you answered it let me know I am not alone and someone cares.

I too have to tell my husband who I am. I do it with a big smile and a lot of enthusiasm. He is always relieved to know I'm his wife and that I love him.

Well, you are a nice lady!

Someone asked a senior man why he had breakfast with his wife each morning, when she didn't even remember who he was. His reply was, "Because I remember who she is."

It is extremely sad when the ability to recognize and remember people goes.

I would say it is better not to argue with him. Tell him he is a very nice man and you are very glad to spend time with him.

It must be such a heartbreak for you, I'm so sorry. Be comforted that he still obviously values your love and companionship and views you as a "nice lady".
