In the garden in Eden, God said, to the fall of man, the curse would involve toil, thorns and death. But to Eve He said, it would involve the pains of childbirth...
Her pain would be part of bringing forth new life...
In fact scripture says, all creation is undergoing the pains of childbirth/ birthing.
Through the creation comes the new birth, a fallen world brings forth the children of God.
They are born again through the birth pangs of emptiness, despair, frustration, disappointment, broken hearts, broken dreams, unanswered longings, of wounding and of tears...
The creation groans and brings forth God's life.
Just as a mother forgets the pain in the joy of her new life/baby, so too for those children of God. Whatever pain and tears they knew in this life, become the birth pangs of our new life in Him now and in the afterlife.
So don't despise the tears, but know that in God, every tear brings forth birth, and every sorrow, new life... The miracle of birth.

Rom. 8:22-23.
