eternal sleep
Never waking up
Eternal sleep is a poetic or euphemistic term for death, imagining the deceased as permanently asleep rather than gone: She has passed into eternal sleep.
The phrase appears in elegies, epitaphs, and consoling speech, softening death's finality by likening it to peaceful rest.
