With his ruined existence...

Hi

Is this phrase natural especially the underlined part?

[It's about a brutal man who destroyed his own family and was left alone in the end -- bitter and miserable.]

So he passed the rest of his years alone with his ruined existence.

Thanks,

Tom

Yes. Somewhat literary. But I'd say 'in', not 'with'.
