My mother was actively dying of cancer in the living room. I woke up around 9, my partner still asleep. As soon as I came out of my room, my dad said "she just went" My mom had died in a 30 second window when my dad went to answer the door for the hospice nurse. I woke my partner up, and we went downstairs (the nurse was already in the living room with my mom) all of a sudden my phone rang. I ran upstairs to grab it and answered... no one replied...then a computer generated voice spoke "Goodbye"  click- the line went dead.
