While this part is obviously not lighthearted sweetness, I thought it was exceptionally well done.
I was struck by your portrayal of the loss/despair/confusion that Lois is experiencing. I will say that I found it echoing some real-life experiences with loss in my own past. I found it all very moving.
I was glad the Lois decided to try to open up to Clark at the end. It was obvious that they both need each other right now.
