English term or phrase: Toughen up !
Le contexte : suite à l'incarcération probable d'un père de famille, une famille discute de son avenir. Lors de la conversation, la femme craque et se met à pleurer. Quelqu'un lui dit :
"Toughen up ! We have a long road ahead of us".
La deuxième partie pourrait être traduite par "On n'est pas au bout de nos peines". Comment traduiriez-vous le Toughen up ! à la forme de l'impératif ? Merci.
