phanviola_icons made this simple and beautiful icon:
Once I got over staring at the Doctor's fingers, it struck me that the image looks like despair - a man putting his face in his hands. But it's not despair; this is the Doctor wiping the tears from his face. Similarly, the last image we have of Rose - of her crying in her mother's arms - is not meant to indicate that Rose is destroyed; rather, that she is safe. Both characters will get through their grief and be all right.
