If there's anyone who understands the importance of resilience and forgiveness, it's Simon Kennedy. Simon's mother Yvonne was one of 10 Australians to be tragically killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. 

In this moving and emotional conversation, Simon reflects on the unforgettable trip to Guantanamo Bay where he came face-to-face with those responsible, and shares how he thinks his mother's final moments would have been spent.

In this episode, there is a mention of suicide. If this topic is triggering for you, please seek help by visiting Lifeline's website at https://www.lifeline.org.au/ or by calling 13 11 14.
