    Yes, a wilted Peace Lily should recover after it receives some water. Give it over night, and if the plant is still droopy, set the plant in a tray of water to drink for an hour. Then allow any excess to drain away to avoid roots sitting in soggy soil.

    Go ahead and rinse the soil throughly. Do this by taking to the sink and running water through the soil until the Gatorade is out of the soil.
    Allow the excess water to drain completely, so that the roots do not sit in soggy soil.

    Black tips on the ends of leaves can result from over fertilizing or excess salts from conditioned water.
    You can flush the soil with fresh water to help. If your plant has not been repotted in some time, this may be a good time.
    In the future use distilled water or leaving the water sit on the counter for 48 hours will also help.

    A Peace Lily is generally quite easy to care for. If it is wilting all the time, I would again check the potting soil that was used. Make sure it a good quality potting mix and that the pot has a drainage hole that allow the water to drain properly
    A Peace Lily likes to be on the dry side and will generally droop when it is time to water it.
    A Peach Lily will adjust to the light conditions but if you want to see the white flowers they are know for you will need to find a nice bright location.

    It sounds as if the crown is rotting out.
    When watering you should avoid overhead watering, water the soil itself.
    You can also water by setting the plant in a tray of water for a short period of time.
    Then remove the tray so any excess water can drain away.

    If the leaves pull away from the plant, they have died off.

    Outdoors your plant will need more water then in the indoor location.

    To reliably regrow a peace lily it is best to have a portion of root with at least one leaf attached, but there is a chance that this plant might grow back from just the root. Try cutting away the blackened portion and planting the remainder as a root cutting. This article may help:
