And now I learn that this generally indicates end of life. Have I killed this with love? I've only had it 3 months or so??

No you have not killed it. Prune the flowering stems to the base where there should be new leaves after they finish flowering

This is a perennial and should come back next spring with a new vigour. They also self seed everywhere
