We had, as many in this area, a bitter unexpected cold snap. My 37 year-old jade plant received severe cold damage. (I got this plant when I went to college so it has a great deal of sentimental value to me)...When I brought it in, most of the large branches were frozen. As a result, when it "thawed" they have all drooped and are mushy.

The main plant branches seem ok...not mushy. The base stem is approx. 3 inches in diameter and I'm convinced the roots did not freeze...I have cut the damaged branches off...is there any hope?

What should I do next?

Any advice is appreciated.
