Very good question.  In dealing with my father, gentle, loving actions and quick distraction is often the best answer.    In my opinion, you answer "yes, I think I'd be angry too if I thought my husband has forgotten me.  Yes, my father died some time ago, but that reminds me of some of his wonderful personality traits.  He once did... and I loved it when...."  Then, "Mom, do you feel like going on a walk?  Shall we look at your holiday cards?"   My heart goes out to you and all caregivers.  It is a cruel and devastating disease, but having someone like yourself to care is what is important.
