He said: “What I try to do is have perspective all the time.
“I’ve been there when it feels like the worst thing in the world when you lose a girlfriend you love or a job you love, you crash a car or lose a family member you love.
“Whatever it may be you’ll always get things that test you. You lose your first friend who dies when you’re young.”
He continued: “I remember losing one of my closest friends before he was even 30.
“It was devastating, absolutely devastating. But when it happens again and again with people you love you realise, that’s life.
“Life is what it is. People you love and care about die. You have to learn to ride that wave of grief.”
Piers said it’s “not mental illness” or “anxiety”, it’s just something “we have to deal with”.
He added: “Too many people these days feel unnaturally anxious about these things.”
