See it through

To go through with something is to complete an action despite hesitation, difficulty, or second thoughts.

The phrase implies commitment to finishing what was started, often when backing out seems tempting: She wasn't sure about the surgery but decided to go through with it.

It emphasizes following through rather than abandoning course.
