Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Did he kill my lavender?, 1 by babers

Help!! I am a novice gardener in Seattle. I inherited a beautiful lavender bush. I think it is an English lavender. It seemed to be well established and was probably 3 feet tall by 3 feet wide last August.

My finance was told to cut the plant back after it bloomed. And boy, did he cut it back, all the way back. I think he killed it. I've promised not to beat him until I was sure the plant was dead. I know nothing about lavender, so here is a picture taken March 13th. There is no growth of any kind showing any where.

Tell me what you think...is the wedding off or will my plant rebound?

Thanks in advance!
