Breathed one's last is an idiomatic expression that refers to the moment when someone passes away. The concept of death, however, has been expressed in various ways throughout history and different cultures, resulting in several antonyms for the phrase. Some of these antonyms include "came to life," "was born," "came into being," "started breathing," "awakened," and "started living." These words emphasize the idea of beginning rather than ending, signifying a new start rather than a termination. While the phrase breathed one's last carries a negative connotation of death, its antonyms convey a positive and optimistic outlook on life, highlighting the endless cycle of existence, birth and rebirth, and the perpetual continuity of life.
