question How Frank found Pete and persuaded him to sing at the funeral is something I never found out. We got through it — the afternoon and evening viewings on Tuesday, the funeral service on Wednesday morning, then the little pray-over at Fairlawn Cemetery. What I remember most was thinking how hot it was, how lost I felt without having Jo to talk to, and that I wished I had bought a new pair of shoes. Jo would have pestered me to death about the ones I was wearing, if she had been there. Question: In this case, what's the meaning of 'got through,' to manage to deal with a difficult situation / period of time or to finish dealing with some work, a subject etc? Why?
