Amy Winehouse's family, including her boyfriend Reg Traviss, are reportedly planning a 10-day holiday to mourn the singer's death - as well as celebrate her life.
Reg will join Amy's father Mitch, stepmother Jane, and brother Alex in the journey, which they hope will help them come to terms with her untimely and tragic death.
It will also give them a break from the North London borough Camden, where fans have erected a massive memorial outside the star's home.
A source told The Sun: 'The family feel they want to grieve properly out of the limelight. Being in Camden constantly is proving too painful for them – they need time to themselves.'
But Amy's family also plan to enjoy the break and hope to make the vacation a 'celebration' of the her life.
The insider added: 'They will celebrate Amy's life and share their most treasured stories of her.'
Perhaps St Lucia would be a fitting place to go. The locals took really took to the star when she stayed on the Caribbean island for a few months in 2009.
Saint Lucia's minister of tourism and civil aviation senator Allen Chastanet even issued a statement expressing his deep sadness at her death. He said: 'We have lost a good friend and the world has lost a great talent.'
Recalling the singer's generosity towards local residents, minister Chastanet said: 'We were fortunate to see another side of Amy, and will be forever grateful for the acts of kindness and compassion she extended to less fortunate Saint Lucians during her visits with us.
'Saint Lucians join me in extending our condolences to Amy's family, friends and fans during this difficult period.'

WASTED AMY WINEHOUSE is reduced to crawling up to holidaymakers and grabbing their drinks - after fed-up resort staff refused to serve her. The sneaky singer also BEGS guests to order booze for her at the all-inclusive Caribbean resort.
Each day seems to start with good intentions as she limbers up with yoga-style stretches before swinging into action on exercise rings.But by lunchtime bikini-clad Amy is relaxing with a drink on the beach or even openly smoking joints by the pool.
Come nightfall and she is hitting the bottle with pals - despite the booze ban agreed by her management and staff. A source at the £200-a-night resort said: "We keep catching her crawling past bars, or hiding behind chairs. She grabs guests' drinks and runs off, like a squirrel with a nut."
The Rehab star also baffles guests with her mood swings. One said: "One minute she is very pleasant, saying, 'All right darlin' and chatting to people and having photos taken. The next she is throwing things and swearing her head off. During a fight with a friend Amy tore off long acrylic nails she had fitted. She came up with her fingers bleeding and asked for a cotton bud."
Amy, 25, was said to drape herself over male guests and staff - despite repeatedly insisting she still loves jailbird hubby BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL, 26. Workers even claimed to have found her in a late-night clinch on steps with a man believed to be clean-cut British holidaymaker JOSH BOWMAN, 21, who has since left.
Amy's management have now hired a 6ft 6ins minder to keep her in line - but to little effect. She was spotted creeping up behind one woman, asking for a cigarette and then sprinting away with her cocktail.
Another guest said: "She's like a child craving attention. It's embarrassing. She comes in for dinner barefoot and in her bikini, even though the dress code is smart casual. Then she will go and sit on her balcony topless playing the guitar when everyone is trying to sleep."
But Amy - who has extended her two-week stay for another TWO MONTHS - was overheard on her mobile reassuring her father Mitch, 57: "I've been eating well and I feel great. I've only had a few drinks, Dad - honest."
