head back after doing something; go back via

-아/어서 supplies the step before returning: 물도 텀블러에 담아서 돌아갔습니다 'I filled my tumbler with water and headed back', 걸어서 돌아갈 수 있나요? 'can we walk back?'. 돌아가다 also covers taking the long way round — 공주로 해서 돌아가는 게 나을 거 같아 'going round via Gongju is probably better' — and separately means turning or running (얘가 지가 알아서 돌아가네 'this thing runs on its own'). 돌아가시다 is the euphemism for passing away.
