How it's used

This phrase is used to express that a situation has reached a point where further anxiety is pointless or unnecessary. It often implies that the worst has already passed or that the outcome is now fixed, so one might as well relax. It carries a slightly resigned but ultimately reassuring tone.

Examples

Common phrases

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the literal meaning of death. Despite containing the character 死, it has nothing to do with mortality and is strictly used to describe a state of mind regarding ongoing problems or concerns.
