It appears from the website you attached your sister lives somewhere in France. Hopefully you do as well for the best thing you can do for her is be supportive.
Divorce is never painless no matter how equitable it may be and rarely is a divorce equitable there is usually justifiable reasons. Trying to turn that frown upside down is not the answer, not know the wounds are still fresh. What she needs is someone to talk to, to be supportive of her without taking sides. In reality what she needs is time to grieve for her marriage and one way to do that is allowing her to talk it out. Most people won't listen feeling it is better to try and take her mind of her troubles. That is the wrong approach.
If you are separated by distance try calling and talking to her by phone. If it is affordable try surprising her with a visit. What she needs right now is a friend a close friend that will listen and be there for her. A sister can be that close friend.
