I was going through a really tough time and I could keep this cross in my pocket and then grab it in my fist when I needed to. It was a perfect fit. I loved that cross. My life got better and a lady at church came down with bone cancer which was terminal. I gave her the cross. I heard from another person that it was very meaningful to her. She has since died and I don't know where the cross is but I hope it is comforting her family somehow. That cross meant to much to me. I cried when I realized I had to give it away but I knew she needed it more than me at that point. I still miss it, it got me trough some very dark times. On another note, I make crosses myself. They are made of wire and beads, stones, or coral. Things like that. There is even a local Christian store here that sells them. I love giving them as gifts. Making them brings me joy and seems to bring joy to others. I call my crosses "Expressions of Worship" I received a “grasping” cross from a friend a few years ago.
