This was my mothers favorite plant, she passed recently. Any idea what it is? And suggestions on how to get its happiness back?

Looks like a spider plant, check if it’s roots bound and make sure the soil is the right type, also make sure you’re watering it every few weeks (4 weeks maybe).

Otherwise idk what’s wrong with it

Hmm looks like some variety of mounding grass. Hakone grass maybe?

It’s not a spider plant. Looks like sedge. They use them as tall ground covers like monkey grass and liriope.
