Words: Weather the storm
Share

Have you ever faced a difficult time, a stressful situation, or a major problem that felt as overwhelming as a hurricane?

How do you describe the act of getting through that tough period?

It’s a lot like standing strong against a powerful storm, isn’t it?

Think of it this way: The idiom "to weather the storm" uses the powerful image of enduring bad weather to describe dealing with or surviving a difficult or dangerous situation.

It's about staying strong and pushing through a crisis, knowing that eventually, the trouble will pass.

It's a phrase that speaks to resilience and perseverance.
