Whitney Houston's only child, 19-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina, says she couldn't bring herself to sleep in her mother's Atlanta mansion after her death.
"I woke up and I heard her say, 'All right, come home now,'" Kristina told Oprah Winfrey in the interview that aired Sunday night.
"And when I came back home, I felt humble, I felt okay."
"I can hear her voice in spirit talking to me, 'Keep talking to me. I got you,'" she said. "She's always with me."
"I can always feel her. I can always feel her with me. She always asked me,'Do you need me?' And I caught myself, out of nowhere, I didn't even know I said it, I said, 'I'll always need you.'"
She recalled how she spent Houston's last morning in her embrace.
"It was so early in the morning. I went to go get her and I said, 'Come lay with me,' " she said. "She stayed with me all night and all day. She was just rubbing my head and holding me. I just slept in her arms."
But even though she's mourning, Kristina said she's "accepted" it and revealed her plans for the future.
"I've got to keep moving. I've got to carry on her legacy."
""We are going to do the singing thing, the acting thing, the dancing thing. It's a lot of pressure, but she prepared me for it."
