Default Orchid houseplant

Hi,

I was bought a lovely orchid for my birthday in july which stayed in
beautiful bloom for months. Unfortunately all the flowers dropped off and
now the stem they were on have dried up and gone all shriveled up like
little twigs. The leaves at the bottom are still bright green, long and look
quite healthy.
Does this mean that my plant is still alive or has it gone to plant heaven?
I have had no previous experience with Orchids so was hoping someone here
could help. If its still alive and will reflower do I have to cut the stems
down to the base so they grow again?
Thanks in advance for any possible help

Cheryl
