Solomon said the day of one’s death is better than one’s birth. Why? He knew that life here was vanity, but we have something better awaiting us (Ecclesiastes 12:7-8, 13-14). The Bible uses several expressions for death (euphemisms). A euphemism is a milder word or phrase used in place of a stronger one (ex: “passed away”). The euphemisms for death in the Bible can teach us some lessons. We should “take it to heart.”
