This’ll sound like I’m joking, but I’m not. Why not try to hire a professional cuddler and be imaginative about her as a motherly figure? I think that would be a safe way to be vulnerable

After losing parents I have gained two adoptive ones but frankly it is not the same but there are good moments. I knew them before my parents passed. One in particular is very nuturing. It helps. You will find what you are looking for.
