This is because of the bad timing of their deaths i.e. right when Romeo dies Juliet wakes up and she finds a knife and kills herself. Also if the message had reached Romeo their deaths wouldn't have happened and maybe Romeo and Juliet would have got away and lived happily ever after. This makes it a source of woe and...
