Fight for Bereavement

My employee's father died and will be off for a week. My grandmother also died this weekend. My supervisor wanted to dictate/refuse me bereavement leave since both me and my full time assistant will be off. I already asked my part time assistant to cover. My supervisor did not want her to take over and still wanted me to not take time off. She did not even want to compromise...she stated "I have to approve your time off." I did get HR involved and stood my ground. I think that is so insensitive after I am working a 30 day notice for her. I am not sure about my decision to leave!!!
