     As-Salaam alaykum,

 Even when it comes to crying, there is the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, that we should learn from and adopt. In his book titled 'Zad-Ul-Ma'ad', Imam Ibn Qayyim, may Allah be Merciful to him, tells us that:--

    "When the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam) 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]."
