going through

In the midst

Going through means experiencing or enduring something, often difficult: She's going through a rough patch, He's going through a divorce.

It also means examining or searching systematically: I'm going through my old emails, Customs went through our luggage.

The phrase can indicate consuming or using up: We're going through a lot of paper.

To go through with something is to complete it despite hesitation: I couldn't go through with the surgery.
