Solution

Gautam Buddha wanted kisa Gautami to understand that all men and women are mortals and mortals are destined to die. Lamentation and grieving cannot bring a dead person back to life. Thus she should stop lamenting and grieving the death of her son. Overcoming sorrow makes a person free from sorrow.
