Its possible that it may still have some life in it.

Your case sounds very similar to one of my plants that died off after repotting it. I was tempted to pitch it in the garbage but planted it outside for the month of September. Its not got new growth where the stem used to be, and 2 very small pups growing again.

I had to dig it up again to bring it inside for the winter and it still seems to be doing well (no drooping like the other plants).

You may try overwintering it indoors, keeping it DRY to avoid rot or under your house if you live in an area where thats a possibility. I don't think I'd give up that easily on it!

Others here are more experienced in these matters, so they may have better advice than mine.
