Untimely deaths can be hard to process. The MC talking about his mother in terms that skirt around the fact that his mother died even if he clearly knows it is a way to deal with grief. Trying to dampen the blow a bit even if he took it head first when he first heard the news. Saying it himself is a kind of acknowledgement that can be difficult to do. Something he might do on the hike with the Shrink or tackle at a later time. Does this invalidate the theory she might still be alive somewhere: no, but it is an argument against it.
I would simply keep that theory in my back pocket and keep an eye open for clues in the future but I would not loose some sleep over it and assume for the time being, like everyone around the MC, that she died prematurely.
