peaceful death
Slipping away quietly
A peaceful death is dying without violent struggle, severe pain, or distressing circumstances—typically while unconscious, asleep, or surrounded by loved ones.
The phrase emphasizes comfort and acceptance rather than the clinical or traumatic: She passed in her sleep—a peaceful death.
It's what most people hope for when contemplating their own mortality.
