Na frase Now that she has won the lottery, Mary feels her financial problems are all behind her, a palavra behind não indica posição física, mas um uso figurado e idiomático: significa que algo ficou no passado e foi superado.
O segmento Now that she has won the lottery estabelece a causa e justifica o estado atual. Em seguida, feels + complemento descreve a percepção de Mary: ela entende que suas dificuldades financeiras já não a afetam.
Portanto, a expressão transmite ideia de encerramento de um problema. Em inglês cotidiano, equivalentes são it's in the past ou it's over, e exemplos semelhantes incluem The worst is behind us.
