In case you missed the jewelry being referred to in an ask I got, this is what it is.  My friend got me what looks like a silver and copper (or at least those colors) mix, Ankh symbol combined with the Djed Pillar symbol.  You can read about these symbols and their symbolism here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djed I was already familiar with the symbolism, and it was exactly what I needed:  a sense of stability and strength and a reminder of life and eternity while my father was dying, and a reminder of eternal life.  That’s a grossly oversimplified way of putting it, but I don’t feel like I’m worthy of even trying to explain the details that make it all work so perfectly.
