In essence, the nurse is admonishing Juliet for an excessive outpouring of grief. This admonishment is directly related to the theme of "age". Juliet's inexperience with death, as well as her young age, cause her to have a far different reaction than the adults for whom death is a well known part of life.
Evermore weeping for your cousin’s death? What, wilt thou wash him from his grave with tears? An if thou couldst, thou couldst not make him live. Therefore, have done. Some grief shows much of love, But much of grief shows still some want of wit.Source(s)
