Mock Orange bush

Please help!
I cut back my very large mock orange tree late last summer, but now there is no sign of life?! Have I killed it?
I could provide a photo if required.

Thanks

Check the branches of your shrub, do they bend or snap off?
Scratch the bark; do you see green under the bark?
These are very good ways to determine if your Mock Orange has died or is still viable.
