get through

Manage to finish

Get through centers on completing or enduring something difficult.

You get through a tough exam, a long winter, or a crisis.

To get through to someone is to make contact or make yourself understood: I've been trying to get through to the office all morning, I finally got through to him about the importance of saving.

Getting through also means finishing: I got through three chapters before falling asleep.
