Caring for Mom

My mom has not been formally diagnosed yet. I made an appointment with a gerontologist. Can’t get in until next June (7 months away). After a lot of research and reading, I’ve concluded that this is likely the unfortunate path my mom and I are on. I have no family to help me. I feel alone in this path, which is already a challenge. I’m hoping a group might be helpful. If anyone has input it would be great. Thank you!
