gone to glory
Died and ascended
Gone to glory is a euphemism for having died, with the implication of ascending to heaven.
The phrase carries a tone of religious comfort or gentle humor depending on context: Grandma's gone to glory now.
It softens the finality of death by framing it as a triumphant departure rather than an ending.
