I just tried not to give a word for word translation but to render the meaning. And the word "haunt" fits the situation, I think.

I don`t think the proofreader will object to this version and change it into something about memory.The text is not about memory problems but about the emotional impact. It deals not with the memory as it is, but with the emotional memory, in particular.

Using a commonly used cliche reduces the emotional effect of the phrase.
And what is your ultimate target, after all - to please your proofreader
or to render the emotional connotation best?

Note from asker:
| I like your answer very much, but, as I do not have any communication with the author - the proofreader, most likely, will change it back to something about "memory".Let us see. |
Discussion
I think, the text we are translating is not about memory problems but about the emotional impact. It deals not with the memory as it is, but with the emotional memory, in particular. That`s why I dared
to digress from word-for-word translation of "memory".
