As-Salaam alaykum,
Even when we have cause to cry, we are bound to learn and/or adopt the pattern of the Noble Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam. And how would we do this, one may ask. Imam Ibn Qayyim, may Allah be Merciful to him, tells us how in his book titlled; "ZAD-UL-MA'AD", where he says:--
"When the Prophet (peace be upon him) cried, it was similar to his laughing, without
exaggeration or audible sound. Likewise, he did not weep out loud. His eyes would
get tearful, until they became wet and the sound of grief could be heard from his
chest. He used to cry when feeling mercy for the dead or dying, for fear and
compassion for his Ummah and for fright from Allah. He cried on hearing the Qur'an
being recited for eagerness, love and respect for the Qur'an, while feeling fear and
fright [from Allah]."
