"Not from weeping nor from grieving will any one obtain peace of mind; on the contrary, his pain will be the greater and his body will suffer. He will make himself sick and pale, yet the dead are not saved by his lamentation. People pass away, and their fate after death will be according to their deeds. If a man live a hundred years, or even more, he will at last be separated from the company of his relatives, and leave the life of this world. He who seeks peace should draw out the arrow of lamentation, and complaint, and grief. He who has drawn out the arrow and has become composed will obtain peace of mind; he who has overcome all sorrow will become free from sorrow, and be blessed."

Grieving is part of a healing process especially for a mother who has lost a child. I have seen mares grieve for lost foals so I really must disagree with your Buddha on that point. The wealth thing I agree with and would ask you to immediately make me a loan that I will pay back in kind when I feel like it...
