to an end
Until it's over
To an end describes bringing something to a conclusion or termination.
A meeting comes to an end, a relationship is brought to an end, suffering is put to an end.
The phrase emphasizes finality—not just stopping but reaching a definitive conclusion: All good things must come to an end.
