How to help my Never Never plant?
I moved her out of my bathroom and into my office because the bathroom was too humid and the soil wasn't drying out properly. Had it in direct light for about a week and believe it got sunburned. I trimmed the burned leaves and moved it out of direct light but the leaves are continuing to droop, yellow, and wilt. Did I kill my plant or is there something I can do to help?
(Note: my cats are uninterested in the plant and do not have unsupervised time with it, so they haven't been bothering it.)

Hi AJ! Sounds like you just need to find the "sweet spot" that will keep your plant happy. They do burn in direct sun — as you've found out 😕 They're all about the humidity, so it sounds like you were on the right track keeping her in the bathroom. As for the soil staying wet for too long...they like their soil to stay consistently moist, but not soaking wet. And never let it dry out completely.
Here's another post that discusses it in greater detail:
