The deceased is tormented by the weeping of his family over him mentioned in the hadith, which refers to wailing and lamenting, and what accompanies them of displeasure with God's decree. As for mere tears from the eye and sadness in the heart, there is no harm in it; it is a mercy that God has placed in the hearts of His servants, as evidenced by the Prophet's (peace be upon him) weeping over his family. A Muslim visits graves to remember death.
