If the dead person suffered 'It was a blessed relief'; again (another thread) use the two-syllable pronunciation of "blessed".

Here's a mnemonic:
birth [one syllable] => they were /blest/ with a baby girl
passing [two syllables] => it was a /blesid/ relief.
(Hmm. Not such a good mnemonic; supposing you think of 'death'?)

Also (a cricketing metaphor) 'He had a good innings'.
