Location should not affect the ability to weep and shed tears for Imam Husain (a.s.), as when you hear the musibah of Ahlul Bayt (a.s.), you should completely zone out from everything else and express your grief.
Of course, it is always best to attend Majalis in person, participating in the mourning ceremonies with other believers and increasing the number of devotees who commemorate the tragedy of Karbala.
At the end of times, prior to Qiyamah, there will be Raj'ah; the return of the purest and the return of the wickedest.
This is when retribution will happen, and those responsible for the worst of oppression will be held accountable for what they did.
This means that in Heaven there will be no more sorrow or grief or sadness. Indeed, as our ahadith say, attending the Majalis of Imam Husain (a.s.), weeping for him and the tragedy of Karbala, writing poem for him, and everything related to serving Imam Husain (a.s.) will amount to mandatory entering of Heaven.
This itself is the greatest blessing, if we do it sincerely and with correct ma'rifah, truly recognising the status of the Imam and following his teachings in practice.
If we are fortunate enough, we could also be in the vicinity of Imam Husain (a.s.) and Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) in Heaven, in shaa Allah.
A similar thing could be said for the Angel of Death: people are dying around the clock, and yet the Angel of Death is always on time!
Shaytan is a similar example - he can act on and be aware of many people at once, regardless of where they are located, without infringing on divinity.
Moving along from these morbid examples... My understanding is that once the soul leaves this world, it is not subject to the same restrictions of physical reality that we experience here (such as regarding space and time).
That could especially be said for those who have a high position near Allah, as well as other created beings which do not primarily exist on earth, such as archangels and the ruh.
Possibly they are able to "stretch" into various places at once while remaining in a place near Allah.
This is my understanding - Allah knows best.
In any case, this particular belief does not require ascribing them a divine attribute, although people may accept or reject the belief, or accept or reject the explanation.
