How to deal with mum guilt with only child

I had my son (11) through IVF. I cannot have any more - I do not want anymore! Im 41, theres no way I would try at this age. Hes a great kid, thoughtful, intelligent, funny. We had an amazing lockdown together as I got to spend this amazing quality time with him before he turned into a teenager! Today he told me he is lonely and wanted a brother. He knows hes an IVF baby, he knows I cant have more. He told me to adopt a 5 year old for him!

Obviously thats a no, we can afford one child, He gets holidays, his own room and most importantly quality time with each parent any time he needs it.

But I feel so guilty that I have deprived him of a sibling!
