I feel you. My son may be in this position one day. Don’t give up on it! I’ve kept multiple peace lilies in offices and homes for years. They are dramatic, but also forgiving. What you’ve done so far sounds helpful. I’d suggest:
* More light, but indirect. They like well-lit rooms as long as the sun doesn’t shine on them. They do like 70º better than 90º.
* Let the soil dry a little between waterings. Stick your finger in the soil to see if it’s damp. If it is, water in a few days.
* It’s ok to overwater them until water runs through the pot, but be sure the pot doesn’t sit in that water.
* Prune off all the dead material. The blooms always look disgusting when they die.
Lastly, get it a friend or two. Get another couple peace lilies and care for them the same way. It’ll help you understand how they behave.
