ANSWER: Christians are not forbidden to weep for loved ones who have passed from this life! It was natural for Jesus to weep for Lazarus whom He loved (John 11:36) and it is, likewise, natural for us to do the same. However, we do not sorrow as those in the world do when a loved one dies, because faithful Christians have the glorious hope of meeting and living together again in the eternal world to come (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
