Being sad and crying is not a bad thing, it is not a sin. Jesus also cried when he learned that a friend of his had died.
If we allow it, God will dry our tears and comfort our hearts.

Mourning in the Bible
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
a safe tower in times of adversity.
You, Lord, hear the supplication of those in need;
you revive them and answer their cry.
You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.
Even when I walk
through a valley of darkness and death,
I will not fear any danger, for you are with me;
Your rod and your staff protect me.
The Lord is near
of those who have a broken heart
and save those with a crushed spirit.
He will wipe away every tear from your eyes. There will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor pain, for the old order has passed away.”
God is our refuge and our strength,
always present help in adversity.
For his anger only lasts for a moment,
but his favor lasts for life;
the crying may persist for a night,
but in the morning joy breaks out.
that this God is our God
forever;
he will be our guide until the end.
From the ends of the earth I cry out to you
with a broken heart;
put me safe on the rock higher than I am.
When anxiety
already dominated me inside,
your comfort brought relief to my soul.
This is my consolation in my suffering:
Your promise gives me life.
For everything there is a right time;
There is a right time for every purpose
under the heaven: Time to be born and time to die,
time to plant
and a time to uproot what was planted, a time to kill and a time to heal,
A time to tear down and a time to build, a time to cry and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones
and time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to hold back, a time to seek and a time to give up,
time to save
and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to sew,
A time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate,
time to fight and time to live in peace.
Blessed
those who cry,
for they will be comforted.
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will hold you
with my victorious right hand.
When you cross the waters,
I will be with you;
when you cross the rivers,
they will not cover it up.
When you walk through fire,
will not burn;
the flames will not leave you burning.
Shout for joy, O heavens,
rejoice, O earth;
break out into song, O mountains!
For the Lord comforts his people
and will have compassion on those who are afflicted.
The righteous perishes, and no one considers
that in your heart;
godly men are taken away,
and no one understands
that the…
