If I say like this;
   "I gave this place my life."
Is it ok? Or waht would you say?

Answer

It's fine. But it's a bit dramatic.

Answer

Your way is OK, or we might also say , "I gave my life to this place".

Answer

That would work... you could change the word order for emphasis - I gave my life to this place!
The following would be less proper (slang like):
This place is my life! (present tense) or after the shutdown - This was my life (past tense).
