Crying alone does not incur punishment, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Mishkat al-Masabih 1724. Yes.

May Allah bless you.

God does not punish for the tears the eye sheds or the grief the heart experiences, but He punishes for this (pointing to his tongue), or He shows compassion
إن الله لا يعذب بدمع العين ولا بحزن القلب، وإنما يعذب بهذا يعني اللسان أو يرحمThe presenter:
May Allah bless you.
