no longer with us

Gone from life

No longer with us is a euphemism for dead: Her grandfather is no longer with us.

The phrase softens the bluntness of death, often used when delivering sad news or speaking of the recently deceased.

It can also mean someone has left a group or organization: Johnson is no longer with us—he took a job elsewhere.
