dignified death
Peaceful final exit
A dignified death is one that preserves a person's sense of self-worth, autonomy, and comfort in their final days.
The phrase appears in discussions of end-of-life care, palliative medicine, and right-to-die advocacy: She wanted a dignified death, surrounded by family, free from unnecessary interventions.
What constitutes dignity varies—for some it means dying at home rather than in a hospital, for others it means having control over timing and circumstances.
