Maybe posting links to Social would help?As you said, Social isn't always light hearted. Lots of things are discussed there. People post their feelings of hopelessness, sad things in their life, even their desire not to battle on. Why should grief alone be seggregated? I find the grief board very triggering because it's only grief - unleavened grief. But grief expressed as part of life on the board of the community, I think is appropriate. More appropriate than posters being told to take their grief to someplace they won't depress others.
How about changing the name to General or better yet Community?
