when it an older person - "he/she had a good innings."
and in all cases "they are in a better place." -
but one thing with that last one is, i have found that perhaps we take stock about what that really means and whether you end up believe -ing in that "better place" or not, it can make you stop and look at this place with newer eyes, - and in looking at the way nature works, and just being part of that, rather than constantly trying to meet a human/social standard of living and grieving, you can often find a very strong crutch that can help you with this journey.
