Barriers to completion are vast\, but many struggle to begin because of uncertainty around several factors\, including including family history\, identity\, bias\, and faith. Aging services professionals\, healthcare professionals\, death doulas\, and others in someone’s circle of care have a unique opportunity to open the door for these discussions. \nWe will highlight barriers to advance care planning and three of the critical “Fwords” that may arise; faith\, family\, and fatphobia.
