Hi Jamie,
I am not sure if this could help but I want to share to you my own experience. I will try to make it short but detailed as it could be.
One of my lady office mates tried to kill herself in front of me and 2 other officemates around 6 years ago. The reason for her attempt was due to a failed relationship, depression and loneliness.
Since I was the oldest among the group, I volunteered myself to pacify her. I really do not know what to do then coz she is screaming and crying non-stop. But since we know each other somehow, I found a way to share my personal problems to her in which I seldom do. I made her realized that her problems were much easier to handle than mine. I even cried when I was telling her one by one. That was not intentional, I got carried away.
Surprisingly, the girl handed me the knife and hug me tight. The next year, she got married and my gift was the most cherished by all - the knife that almost ended her life!
I think that if your sister would only realize that there are a lot of worst problems around the world to attend to, she will most likely want to live and help.
