coped

Handled the difficulty

Coped is the past tense of cope, meaning to deal with difficulties or manage under pressure.

Someone who coped with hardship found a way to get through it: She coped with the loss by staying busy.

The word often appears with "with" but can stand alone: How did you cope?
