I think it's better to look for another engine. This won't be an easy fix, because everything has to be checked, measured, new sleeves, planed and so on. I think that's a little be above a DIY job to be honest.
Very sorry for the loss.

Yes, the engine is clearly damaged beyond repair, the broken casting should be welded up and resleeved which makes no sense as it`s way cheaper to get an intact core or short block and rebuild from there. Especially because this is the base 2.5 engine.
