I couldn't sleep leading up to the flight, would be too nervous to eat etc... I loved to go places but the stress of going was almost too much. The biggest thing that helped me on my flying fear was learning everything I could about flying and planes in general. YouTube was a great resource as to watching videos inside planes especially landing or takeoff. For me, takeoff was the worst by far, so I watched a ton of takeoff videos. Watching so much helped me become used to everything to expect. Its to the point where I actually enjoy flying and look forward to it. Another thing I had to deal with is sometimes the stress of travel in general can be added to the flying fear. Avoiding the extra stressors helped me deal with the flying stress. I also think it really helps she wants to get over it. It is a decision and there is nothing anyone can do but her to make the change.
