Citrus tree appears to be dying

Old producing oranges last season. Made the mistake of having tree top the trees. The 2 of them have green leaves, however one of them has some yellowing leaves. Is this one dying? When I look at them, I am so sad that the tree service cut them back too severely. I realize that they will not produce oranges for some time, now. With the yellowing leaves on the one, what can I do to get them back to health. They pruned the trees about 2 weeks before a severe freeze. I know I went about this all wrong, but is there any thing I can do to help them so I can save them?

Topping will mean you won't see fruit maybe for a couple of years. There are not very many citrus that can handle a hard freeze so that may have caused a problem as well.
