I would contact local shelters and rescues and see if they have any orphaned kittens that need a momma cat. It will likely be good for both your cat and the kittens. *Most* momma cats will accept new kittens, though some are uninterested.

If she were my cat, this is the route I would take.

I also worry because she used to love to sleep or just cuddle on my chest but she just lays next to me now :/

Check your local shelter for nursing age orphans. If your mama still has milk, they might form a mutually beneficial relationship. :-)
