live through
Weather the storm
To live through something is to experience it and survive: She lived through the Great Depression, He lived through three wars.
The phrase emphasizes endurance—not just being present during an event but coming out the other side.
It often applies to hardships, traumas, or historical moments: I never thought I'd live through a pandemic.
