@LAMA70 Just what @arpie has said. I was in a similar situation losing my big sister to this bitch of a disease. You don't say what her health is like at the moment and whether she is still doing things for herself or is in palliative care. Be with her, laugh with her, let her cry, and cry with her. Something that I felt when my sister died was it was just me who carried the memories of who she was pre-adult and responsibilities, so talk about those if she wants to - with photos and all. If she's got kids, maybe she would like to record those things...maybe you would if she's okay with that. I know that you have said that she is so strong but let her know that it's safe to rage with you if she wants to. Of course, ask her what she wants out of this time. If she's still well enough, maybe a couple of days at the beach or something (Otis Foundation may be able to help). Or a drive if she's not. Just love her. There's no magic words or things that will help. You being there will be everything to both of you. I am so very sorry that you and your sister are in this place.
