Elisabeth - I never thought about it that way before either - it was just sort of an epiphany of some kind. When the planet explodes, that is *the* second that Jor-El and Lara die. I *did* break out my Foxe's earlier today...
You misunderstood me. The first death is usually one parent and the second the other, but in Clark's case both sets of parents died together. So in Clark's case the first death he *experienced* was his adoptive parents and the second death was his birth parents. However when he saw Krypton explode he mourned for all four of of his parents together, each loss making the previous one hurt more. When you think about it, it's a lot of loss for someone so young.
