Some stress is good but too much can be a risk to physical health and mental wellbeing.
There are many things you can do to help your sister cope with stress probably the most important is the obvious being there for her so she can have someone to talk too or share a kiss or cuddle which can be a great support.
Have you tried suggesting your sister seeing a counsellor? sometimes it can help to talk things through with a proffesional, the good thing about counselling is that you are free to discuss anything without being judged they dont give you advice but it may help your sister to work through her problems, find solutions and find ways of coping with stressful events.
You can talk to your doctor or even look through your local pages or internet to find a counsellor in your local area.
I also suggest that you yourself go to these sessions along with your sister as the counsellor maybe able to suggest ways for you to help and support your sister.
Try and encourage her to keep up with the meditations the main reason is alot of people give up too soon and dont try long enough to see its benefits or effects with this in mind make sure that she is eating properly 3 meals aday, getting enough sleep and exercise it dosent have to be strenous. Regarding the mediations try youtube as they have lots of guided meditations and relaxation music.
I have recommened a 2 good sites below it is a free programme that is CBT or (cognitive behavioral therapy)please take a look and see if your sister may find it usefulx but you'll have to register first.
