Hello! Please, consider the following context. A man is in bad trouble and he doesn't know how to pull himself together, how to endure it. He soliloquizes, "If only my father was alive, he could tell me how to cope with it." How can the phrase 'cope with it' be expressed in one word here? Can I say '... how to bear? How to stand? How to endure? (without 'it')? Or maybe some other variants?
