It is a grave halachic obligation to mourn and cry when a kosher Jew, especially an innocent child, dies. The Gemara explicitly warns that failing to do so incurs severe punishment, including the loss of children. When a righteous soul departs, the world loses kedusha and merit, upon which our very existence depends; not mourning signifies a cruel lack of understanding, introspection, and teshuva (Rambam). This indifference reveals a dangerous disconnection from Klal Yisrael. You are commanded to feel this loss, cry, pray, and engage in teshuva, acknowledging the world's diminished state and Hashem's profound message.
