I am wondering the same thing and feeling very much the same way. I think, in some ways, I was supposed to have chosen a spouse who could/would do this for me, at least partially, but I didn't. I'm sure for lots of reasons, including the fact that I never have been "cuddled" emotionally or otherwise. I've said it before, I wish I had gone into therapy in my early 20s, then maybe I would have made different choices.
Maybe that is why I miss my kids being little. I could and did cuddle them. Maybe I was filling my own need, in addition to theirs?...Just occured to me.
I'm sorry, I wish I knew how to make it better. Ultimately we do have to learn how to cuddle ourselves. At least we are always with us!
