Question

Think and write down three or four ways in which we can express the idea of 'death' in a tactful and gentle manner.​

Answer 1

Instead of saying or writing the person is dead, you can express it as:

1. The person passed away.

2. The person is no more.

3. The person will rest in abode forever.

4. A sad demise of the person.

Declaring someone as dead is a matter of sadness and grief. If spoken properly it will not at least hurt the person directly.

Answer 2

(1) The person passed away.

(2) The person is no more.

(3) The person will rest in abode forever.

(4) A sad demise of the person.
