it has been a month so you should be sure that it is dead by now. So sad. I can see it was a nice plant. Sorry you lost it. Perhaps you should have buried the pot on the ground at least partially and keep watering from time to time. Not sure coming in and out of the house is good for any plant. Too much of a sudden change. I think even letting it outside during the frosts while keeping it well watered is better than constantly going in and out of the house. Also, it is easier to survive the winter in a pot if the pot is big, let's say 16-20 inches wide. Finally, the approach of letting it dry before watering again is good on normal conditions but previous to winter and before frosts, water potted plants as well as you can, don't be scarce. get a new one. you will do better next time.
