Morphology
The sense 'help someone survive/recover' is partially inferable from 'bring' (to cause to come) + 'through' (to the other side/completion): conceptually it pictures moving someone across a difficult event. The usage is a metaphorical extension of literal movement and the medical/survival nuance may not be fully predictable for a B1 learner without prior exposure, so it is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Bring through may come from the picture of physically bringing someone through a dangerous place, like carrying or guiding them out to safety. So, it now means 'to help someone survive or recover'.
