>>>Nothing seems to help and no one can force her to go to a counselor to talk about the issues.<<<
sadly, that is what it boils down to. it is wonderful that family cares and would do anything but it sounds like nothing is going to happen until your sister chooses to take steps to get better.
it is heartbreaking to watch loved ones decline knowing that help IS available.
keep on taking care of you and your grief over what your sister is going through.
taking care of self is something you can do so that when your sister comes for help you're able and strong enough.
it is a sad situation and a frustrating one. faith and patience are hard to keep when a loved one needs help but can't acknowledge it due to disease/disorder.
