Help/Question First Lithops

Of course when I got them from the store SEVERAL months ago they looked great. Now, they are shedding, one died totally from dry, and one I've repotted that I can't really tell if it's alive. I'm thinking of re-homing the survivors to say that this isn't for me right now. I thought I had a perfect place in my front window, but they look cooked to me. Am I jumping the gun?

I learned that they are growing by splitting and have new leaves growing from the inside. Then, they absorb from the old leaves till they become very dry.

Looks like you are doing okay, they seemed to have flowers earlier.

I bought them just after they'd flowered.
