London, June 2 : Jade Goody''s mother has been wrapping herself in her daughter's clothes in an attempt to feel "closer" to her.

Jackiey Budden was said to be finding it very hard to deal with the death of the Big Brother star, who lost her life to cervical cancer aged 27 on Mother's Day this year.

The 51-year-old has reportedly put her foot down against the sale of Jade''s home in Upshire, Essex despite it being one of her daughter's last wishes.

"Jackiey''s refusing to let go of Jade. She''s been wearing her clothes and won''t let anyone throw anything away. She says it helps her feel closer to Jade," the Sun quoted a source as saying.

The source added: "She says she''s doing all this to hold on to Jade''s memory. But her closest friends are starting to worry about her health and her somber mood."

Jackiey was previously photographed wearing the boots Jade sported during her final days. (ANI)
