Catherine Nevin has Died

I shared a hospital waiting room with her in late 2016. A Catherine Nevin was called by the nurse. I didn’t look up but the name registered with me. I just thought “oh, someone else has that name”. After she exited the room, my mother none too discreetly whisper-hissed at me “That was Catherine Nevin!”. My mother and I proceeded to continue on whisper-hissing about her until we noticed a woman dressed in black who had been sitting beside Nevin glaring at us. She left the room and a few minutes later, we saw Nevin being brought to a private room to wait out the rest of her visit. The lady in black must have been a prison guard. “Fück that” I thought. Yes, she’s going through a tough illness but many of the people in the waiting room, good people in a shïtty situation, are too and many of us would have loved a private room for some peace and quiet. Why should she get special treatment?

I’m surprised she lasted so long. Good riddance.

The cheek of that woman glaring at you!! When she had her husband murdered she should expect folks to talk about her.

I know, right? It was a high profile case, my mother recognised her. Such is life. Maybe if she, ya know, hadn’t arranged to have her husband killed, people wouldn’t be noticing her.
