Well, let's see. Liara is what, 80? 180? Something like that. Give or take a hundred years, alright?
Shepard is about 27, depending on your origin story which may add 2, but also subtract 2, because he was dead for 2 years and I doubt the aging process as we know it had an effect.
The average human life expectancy in mass effect is 150, due to the medical and technological advances increasing quality and longevity of life. So Liara would be roughly 230 or 330 by the time Shepard died. 110 or so years is also more than enough to raise an Asari child to adulthood as well, for all you 'blue babies' folks.
This isn't taking into account shepard's extensive cybernetic enhancements, which can heal scars and brought him back from the #$%^ing dead. It would be a thousand times harder to return someone from death than reverse aging. Not the mention the fact that he wasn't simply dead, he'd been exposed to the vacuume of space, buned to the crisp during atmopheric re-entry at a ball-numbing velocity, and them smashed into the permafrost at the speed of an unlaiden african swallow. They had to restore every one of the trillions of neurons in his brain for god's sake, that's staggering. Those nanobots floating through his bloodstream are basically tiny Jesuses. There's no telling what they're capable of. Given what they've already done, Shepard is nothing short of medically immortal.
I headcannoned shepard dying like a boss in that explosion at the end and skip that damned breath scene because that's how I wanted it all to end. The hero dies at the end, that's why he's a hero. It also gives me an excuse not to bother myself with this sort of thing. Tali can move on and date Garrus or something, he was a bro.
