I got this plant from my sibling a few years back and she was luscious and beautiful and happy at the time. I call her Thelma. In the past year or so, I've gone through a major depressive episode and neglected every responsibility in my life- including her (we're talking maybe 1-2 cups of water every few months for about a year). I just got back home after a month of being with family after my dad died and the last shred of green that was there before I left is now gone. Send hate if it makes you feel better but trust I recognize how awful it is that I've killed this beutiful living creature and I am plenty ashamed already.
All this to say, I want to know if there is any hope with this type of plant for revival if I really apply myself- like maybe if I remove all those dead stems and get her hydrated and back on a consistent watering schedule? Also for context I have access to both direct and indirect sunlight. I am truly out of my depths here but if it's a lost cause I want to know so I can begin grieving and say goodbye. I think I already know the answer but I wanted to check with the plant folk just in case. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Lost cause I think
We’ve all killed plants. Life happens.
That being said, if you want to try again, that type of plant (yucca or Dracaena) should fit your needs. Remember to water thoroughly (not just 1-2 cups) when you do, but after that the plant is fine without water for a month or two.
