There seems to be something to such stages, probably in that order

This poll is good enough

It seems very easy to find some common themes and make it a model...I suppose giving labels to things has some clinical value.
My own experience of such symptoms (which will apply more to matters not directly to dying) is that you aren't even going to know what causes such behaviour much of the time. Knowing about this model is not going to make you think "Hmm, I have that, it must be because of...x" etc. so it's probably of no use to the individual except after the event (in the case of facing up to your own mortality, it's probably of no use whatsoever apart from maybe to validate your feelings or have your closed ones irritate you all the time with statements like "See, it's ok and normal to be like this" and "You mustn't get angry with me, I have issues too").
The local hospice gave us a lot of info on this when my step-dad was dying. I think it was helpful in dealing with the weeks leading up to his death. It's like, we just had to accept it was happening even though we didn't know exactly when. Same with my brother in-law. With illness you have time to go through the stages before. Sudden deaths are trickier. Like I still go through the stages with a couple of people that were not sick and too young to die. I will wake up and want to call them and then it hits me and my stomach turns but I quickly move back into acceptance.
“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
