Is there a word that describes the fear of forgetting? In my case I'm in search of a word meaning fearing to forget a beautiful memory.

    It ought logically to be lethophobia, but that doesn’t really appear to be in any kind of real use, nor to be included in dictionaries.

Mnemophobia

is literally the fear of memories, usually bad ones, but is also used for fear of their loss. It is directly from the analogous Greek roots for 'memory' and 'fear of'.
