Yes. People come out of hospice all the time. Not the norm, but the body has amazing abilities to recover when we think it won't. The incidence of a person coming out of hospice a second time is much lower. Not having those numbers in front of me, mind you, but it seems an unassailable point.
Subconsciously, we pick up on cues we are not fully aware of. You saying this happened with no warning is stupid. She was in hospice. You at least knew that she could die. She was 97. My grandma turned 93 four days ago. She's not in hospice, but if she died today, I couldn't be surprised. And the very fact that I'm talking about her now would seem eerie. The fact is that you visited your grandma recently, and you likely picked up on some signs that things were nearing the end. Hospice workers will recount smells that are very faint that they pick up on after working with so many dying patients, they will report elevation in mood right at the end. Lots of things that may seem good would have been just out of sorts enough for your subconscious to pick up on it, her to be on your mind, and your brain to connect the dots, even if you are not fully aware of it.
If you want us to laud your psychic skills, you're barking up the wrong tree. If you want us to come to some sort of epiphany regarding an internet stranger's supernatural tale, good luck.
You're a jerk (to put it lightly), I'll leave it at that..
I'm sorry you don't like my response. But remember how you entered our community. You NEED logical support, and I offered up a pretty concise bit of logic in an attempt to raise your consciousness about the fact that you might have selection bias about not thinking about how your 97 year old grandmother being in hospice could affect your subconscious.
Then you summarily dismissed my point as beneath your level. I was responding in kind. If we're both jerks, that's fine. But don't point to my rudeness while ignoring your own.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
