Ksyu-k.
"overcome" and "cope with" are slightly different, but here are a few phrases that spring to mind:
to pull through
to tough it out
to fight it out
to stick it out
to stick at it
to hang in there
to ride the bumps
to win out
to be up to it
to stay the course
to gain the upper hand
to get the better/best of
to get on top of things
