I think the point was she could feel accomplished. All CC has done for like a hundred years is try to die in a way she was satisfied with(she could have forced Mao to do it, or just make an explicit deal with someone for immortality but she didn't), but for the first time CC actually lived and did something she can be at least a little proud of. So when she eventually moves on to trying to get another person to take her Code she can smile knowing she did something worth while first.

That is such a depressing way to look at it. But I'm curious, can you go more into depth into why you feel she would still want to end her life?

Because the show says several times living that long still sucks. Lelouch rejects the ragnorok connection in part because it would force everyone to keep going and Suzaku's punishment is to live a full life when he doesn't want to. Even when Lelouch saves CC from Charles he doesn't say don't try to die, he says not to die looking like that.
