If by "disappears" you mean ends its life cycle then, no, you wont be able to see the Moon. Mostly because by the time the Sun is gone the Earth would have been swallowed long ago and we would all be dead!

What creates the lunar phases that you are able to see?

The position of the moon in relation to the sun creates the different phases. Depending on where the moon is in it's orbit around Earth defines how much of the illuminated side we can see from here. When the moon is between Earth and the sun, it's a "new" moon and we can't see it - the sun's glare blocks it out, UNLESS it eclipses the sun. As it moves east, away from the sun, it first appears as a thin crescent until it moves behind Earth, which is when it appears full - Earth is now between the moon and the sun. Then it continues moving east and gets smaller or "wanes" until it disappears into the sun's glare again and then becomes a "new" moon.
