My husband says it’s dead

This is my palm, Lorna. She’s suffered as it’s been a very dark winter. I’m not willing to give up on her and I think there’s still a chance to revive her

What do you think? What would you do?

Check her roots. That will tell if she’s passed on or if she could just use a haircut and a grow light for that seasonal depression.

I replanted her just a few weeks ago. Roots seemed ok and some of the leaves have opened a bit since then. But it was dark green when I got her

Maybe trim back anything dead? Let her focus on new healthy growth. Give her 3-6 months to turn it around 🤞🤞🤞
