come to your resting place
- come to your resting place
to die
Not reaching your overnight hotel but the common imagery of likening death to resting while you await resurrection or whatever may be in store. Also as come to the end of the road:
He drove me direct to this bungalow and then to the resting place which she had come to just the day before. (P. Scott, 1973)
She came to the end of the road only five years after we had laid father to rest. (Tyrrell, 1973)
I like the Shetland come to yourself, with its Buddhist overtones:
I faer dis ane 'ill come to himsel'. (Shetland News, 1890, quoted in EDD)
