Actually, one of my TOGoM varaints (I don't remember which number, it was a longer story)does explore the scenario where Clark doesn't tell Lois he is alive, and she has to go through a memorial service for Clark.

She eventually does find out (I don't remember how)and the fireworks start.

The time frame is only months, not years if I remember correctly.

Tank (who has always liked TOGoM rewrites because it allows writers to showcase Lois in a wide variety of emotions and responses)
