Puzzling sentence
She spent almost a year at the bedside of a dead guy she'd just met instead of moving on.
(Note: The guy was in a coma and died after a year)
Is this correct and does it make sense to say? The intention is to make it sound hard because they don't understand her decision to stay at his bedside knowing he'd probably never regain consciousness.
