I am sorry to hear of your partner's condition. I hope that if it is her time to pass, that she passes with little pain and some dignity. That is a tough thing to deal with.

As for her statement, unfortunately, a single data point like that is the definition of coincidence -- Two independent events that share a commonality occurring at the same (or close) time. It is tempting to assign some mysterious causality because of the strangeness of the coincidence. Now if she had a history of correctly "sensing" people's deaths with a good false alarm rate, then we might have something to ponder.

But a one time declaration that happened to be correct? A coincidence. An eery coincidence, but a coincidence none the less.
