I do think that Rose loses what good friends she may have by having a family with the Doctor. I guess, I always thought that Jackie and Rose’s relationship was such that Jackie became the friend and confidant that Rose needed. I always thought it tragic that we never get a goodbye to Jackie. Because then, I can truly see Rose needing to work out issues of loneliness. Because he kids are grown and gone, and she has the Doctor - but she loses her Mom somewhere along the way and that has to be extra hard on Rose because she doesn’t have a close-knit bundle of friends.

I think Rose accepts that life with the Doctor is what her heart wants and she lives each day to the fullest with him, but I think it also would be lovely to see a story where we see her putting Jackie’s funeral together and the Time Lords going through the motions of a funeral - because Jackie would be the first major one. And then to see Rose and the Doctor figure out how to supplement what Jackie gave to Rose. Not replace, because obviously, a Mom can’t be replaced, but to give Rose that outlet of someone else.

My only question is kind of broad in regards to what your thoughts are about how Rose deals with future loneliness and what you think about in regards to Rose’s relationship with Jackie, and obviously, Jackie’s life coming to an end.
