coping with

Getting through it

Coping with means managing or dealing with something difficult or challenging.

The phrase implies effort and endurance rather than easy success: She's been coping with chronic pain for years, How are you coping with the new workload?

To cope with something is to handle it adequately, even if not perfectly.
