My mom had experienced a stroke on Sept. 20, 2020.  After being in the hospital and a few weeks in a facility to rehab, I brought her home and took care of her at her home.  It was an honor to have been her caregiver.

My mom passed away here at home on Nov. 30, 2022.  She was in a coma-like state for the last week of her life, just sleeping all the time.  2 nights before my mom passed I noticed that 2 of the 3 electrical clocks in our house had stopped working, but the 3rd electrical clock hadn't stopped working.  I hadn't noticed the lights going off, so I was surprised that some of the electrical clocks weren't working.  We've lived in this house for 52 years and whenever there's a power outage, even for a split second, all the electrical clocks go off as do the lights.  Some electrical items going out but others not going out has never before happened.  I thought this was odd and reset the clocks.  The same thing happened again the next night (the night before my mom passed).  I told myself that I need to call an electrician to fix whatever was happening with the electricity.  Please note that there was no storm on either night, so no reason for the electricity to act strangely.

The next night saw no electrical disturbances.  I then came downstairs to check on mom around 5 AM and mom had passed away.  She hadn't passed for more than 10 or 15 minutes before I found her as she looked fine.  I called hospice and a hospice nurse came to handle the paperwork.  A man from the funeral home then came to our house to take away mom's body.  He rolled in a gurney to put mom's body into a body bag and then take her to the funeral home.  It took him no more than 5 seconds to transfer mom's body from the bed to the gurney but in these 5 seconds the electricity went crazy.  The lights in this room all flashed wildly, but only for the few seconds when mom's body was being transferred from the bed to the gurney.  Once mom's body was placed on the gurney, the lights stopped going bonkers.  The man from the funeral home was really taken aback and said, 'whoa, that's something you'll never forget'.  He does this for a living and even he was taken aback.  Please note that there were no storms at this time.

Again, we've lived in this house for 52 years and have never had some of the power go out and some of it not go out.  Even if the power is out for a split second it affects the entire house and not just some of the house.

3 weeks after mom passed we experienced a huge storm.  50 mph sustained wind gusts for 3 days and 40 below wind chills.  Throughout this monster storm the electricity never went out for even a split second, yet when mom was passing (and no storms) the electricity was abnormal to say the least.

My thoughts are that when some of the power went out and some if it didn't for the 2 nights before mom passed was the result of someone coming to take mom but for whatever reason she didn't go.  After passing away the next morning she was allowed to watch me find her.  Then when her body was being transferred to from the bed to the gurney, whomever was with her said that it was time to leave and so they left in those few seconds which caused the lights to freak out.
