I think it would help her to have some honest conversations with her. Saying, "don't worry", or "it will be okay", are fine things to say, but maybe you should have a good hard honest conversation. It might help her out of this 'limbo' she is floating in right now. Is she happy? Was she happy before the cheating? When is enough enough? What would she do in the future of she left him? Have her answer some honest questions to help her think this out.

Do you feel comfortable enough to do so?

Or, you could try and build her confidence. If she is thinking about divorce, let her know that she doesn't have to wait for him. Why is he making the decisions? Why did she leave for him to make up his mind on whether he wants to be with her. Does she WANT to be with him? Yes, let her know everything will be okay, but let her know why. She is strong, resourceful, smart, etc....

This is a terrible time and no one every wants to see this happen, but this can also be a time where you and your sister really become close. She will need your support.
