hi, welcome to Health Care magic Forum,
This seems to be a psychiatric disorder with a severe form of depression. Your sister needs immediate help from a psychiatrist. She needs to have a consult immediately and get admitted in a hospital setup and she needs to be counselled in great deal as to why she is having such thoughts and what precipitated her thoughts. Hope she gets well soon.
