with the angels
Gone to heaven
With the angels is a euphemism meaning dead, suggesting the deceased has gone to heaven: She's with the angels now.
The phrase softens the bluntness of death, especially when speaking to children or in religious contexts.
It implies peaceful rest among celestial beings rather than mere cessation of life.
