Son must think carefully before bringing mom home

Article Image Alt Text

DEAR HARRIETTE: My mother is in a nursing home. She has recovered from COVID-19 in recent weeks. I haven’t seen her in months. Not seeing my mother has worn on me. She is so bright and vibrant. I saw her at least three times every week before the pandemic. I must have developed separation anxiety because I cry at all times of the day when I think of her. I feel like I have lost her and will never see her again. Not seeing her has really made me feel like she has passed on. But she hasn’t; she is right where she always has been.

Dear Rusty: Has someone who paid into Social Security for most of their life ever lost their benefits later in life? I started my benefits at age 62 because I had to. I’ve always been in reasonably good health, so I wonder — what if I live to be 85, 90 or 95 — will I still have enough in the system to get my Social Security check? Signed: Living on SS
