I like the haunting synth pads at the beginning and the thunder sound effects. The piano and strings also channel the emotion of the piece well. Blending the piano and pads together at :39 was a good idea, as was the wider spacing of the notes later on. There’s a lot of feeling packed into such a short piece, as others have said.
Wish I could give you a hug, quintivium. You have my deepest sympathy.
