People seem to forget that unless it's a superhero or vampire or other sci-fi/fantasy story LIs die sooner or later as well just like they do in real life. Macy was 60yo (though she didn't exactly look it, plastic surgery?) when she shot herself. I would call that a good run, even with her codependency and other mental issues. At that point I would call her a "former LI" anyway as by then she was totally getting on the MC's nerves even if she was his mother.You know, I stopped watching Game of Thrones after John Snow was run through with a sword and killed. There was no one left to root for. Several years later, I find out that the next episode he is brought back to life by that red witch. Of course, I was over it by then.
Just saying, the last scene shows her lying in an ambulance. And the fact that at least twice that I can recall the MC stated that maybe he will tell so and so what happened to her. It could be she is dead but it also could be that she survived and just left the picture yet everyone thinks she is dead except the MC knows the truth. I'd suggest holding off any rash decisions but just a suggestion. I could be wrong.
Side personal note: Macy was a happy addition but I never expected her originally so if she ends up not being an option because she is dead or otherwise out of the picture, I'm OK with that.
