A French doctor in psychiatry has made a video on the subject: https://youtu.be/QE7tW63riRE

Another one about prolonged grieving: https://youtu.be/KkXaM240AKQ

Idk if subtitles are available but, in a nutshell, his conclusion was that these phases exist but people don't necessarily go through them all and not in a specific order. Also there's no clear cut definition of a healthy or complete grieving process. The best you could do is determine if people are mentally well or not and how negatively the grieving process impacts their life. Some people can even appear to grieve forever by building rituals around a specific death/loss but still be okay.

They're also not an exclusive list of phases either - there's lot of other ways to grieve. So as a model it's not particularly great, being neither in order nor exclusive nor inclusive.

Which is unsurprising as they weren't even invented to explain grief, but rather coming to terms with a person's own death

Wasn't this what Kubler Ross wrote too?
