Mark 16:1 When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2 And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. 6 And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” 8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

The women who had observed Jesus' death and burial returned after the Sabbath to properly prepare His body, as women often want to do things the right way after the men had done it quickly.  Besides all the questions they had about "What happens next?", they didn't even know how they would move the stone to get inside the tomb. Their questions were quickly answered in reverse: the stone was moved; Jesus was no longer dead, and their next step was to go tell the disciples and get them to go together to meet Jesus in Galilee.  We know from the few details in the following verses and the other Gospels that all the questions they had were soon answered in meeting places in Jerusalem and on the mountainside in Galilee. But all the needed for now were those first few answers.  The same is true for us: we don't need to know all the answers all at once - only a few to show us the first steps of the path we need to take.
