Do you think you can even heal the part of your heart that longs to have a mother?

I don't.

I don't think I'll ever find what I'm looking for

I think you can heal. And I also think that when you let go of the dream of that particular person, someone may come into your life that fills the void.
I know that 'like a mother' isn't exactly a mother, but it can be awful close and many times even better than the real thing.
Sometimes we have to create the family of our dreams, with friends. There may be an older woman out there somewhere who longs to connect with a younger woman, for her, it would be 'like a daughter' she never had.

Once upon a time I had a mother in law who treated me this way. It was a huge gift and blessing in my life.

Perhaps you too could find some version of this someday. Just a thought.

Best to you ~

Wow Jac, I am thinking that it is very possible to find others in your life that can fill that void. I have had my friends moms treat me better and become closer to them then I was with my mom. I think if you meet a person like that they can offer you more love and affection than you are thinking is possible.
I guess it is not someone that you search for but someone that will come into your life!
I am sorry you did not have a mom, or a real mom since I am not sure of your situation but someone will find you and take you under their wing when you least expect it!!!!

I don't think that you can fully heal, but you can find happiness and meaningfulness in other ways.

Good luck, hon!
