Give the hero one witness.

If there are ghosts, etc, this can be "magiced" in somehow.
To me, that adds to the poignancy of the arc. Go through with the idea, but leave one person, ideally a love interest or close friend, or someone who they had a tight bond with, be able to remember them for some reason.

That could be your last scene, this lone witness, in a completely rewritten world, remembering the protagonist that everyone else forgot, but who they owe everything to.
