Amy Winehouse's Mom Janis: 'Her death was only a matter of time'
Amy Winehouse's mother Janis has said that she predicted her daughter's death when they met just 24 hours earlier.
The pair spent the day together on Friday, but Janis suspected that it was "only a matter of time" before Amy died due to her behavior.
The Mail on Sunday quotes her as saying: "She seemed out of it. But her passing so suddenly still hasn't hit me." Janis went on to describe her final exchange with her daughter as they parted on Friday. When they kissed goodbye on the doorstep, Amy said: "I love you, Mom."
"They are the words I will always treasure and always remember Amy by," Janis added.
In an interview in 2008, Janis admitted that she was aware of Amy's problems, saying: "I realize my daughter could be dead within the year. We're watching her kill herself, slowly. I've already come to terms with her dead. I've steeled myself to ask her what ground she wants to be buried in, which cemetery. Because the drugs will get her if she stays on this road."
Meanwhile, the owner of Amy's favorite pub The Hawley Arms in Camden paid tribute to the late singer, calling her "a special person with a good soul".
The latest tabloid reports suggest that Amy had bought a cocktail of drugs on Friday night and was devastated by her break-up with on-off boyfriend Reg Traviss.

my mom had to go through this with me when i devolped my nervous disorder
i got even skinnier, i didn't want to do anything, food had no taste and to qoute my mom "the light seemed to have gone out in my eyes"
i'm better now though
ur mom is very original bb.
I had/still sort of have an anxiety disorder matched with depression and when I had a spectacularly bad episode I was much the same - food felt wrong in my mouth, like it didn't belong and had no flavour, I felt like crying or sleeping constantly and I lost a lot of weight in about a week
i can't imagine how parents deal with that
ive been through something similar, it is not fun. glad to hear you are doing better.
I can see how her parents must have been steeling themselves for this for a while. So sad.
and your icon is lovely. :)
I feel so sorry for Amy's mother.
everyone has to die sometime, the survival of the fittest when it comes to the younger.
PS - Love the icon.
Many hugs to you. <3
Granted she's still in a lot of pain, but she's actually happy now.
People don't understand that addiction is something you "choose" to have, and that it can't be cured just by going to rehab.
Also, fuck everybody that makes the "she should've gone to rehab" joke.
oh lawd, it's the ryan dunn clusterfuck all over again
I'm not saying she deserved it or anything. But she was continuing the stereotype of people who think they are smarter than drugs when really nobody is. People who do drugs and don't get hooked are just like they weren't born with an addictive personality, that's all. They're not smarter, just luckier
Her family deserves sympathy imo, and no one "deserves" what happened to her, but I wouldn't call it tragic.
you can shut up now
she's probably talking about the mom part not the i love you bit.
The majority of Americans know that British and Australian people tend to call their mothers Mum. It takes away from the sincerity of that statement to change her words.
BUT NEVER MIND :D
