gone to heaven
No longer living
Gone to heaven is a euphemism for having died, suggesting the deceased has passed on to a blissful afterlife: Grandma's gone to heaven now.
The phrase softens death, especially when speaking to children or in religious contexts.
It can also describe something lost or destroyed beyond recovery: My laptop has gone to heaven.
