She's a grown woman who is going to do what she wants to do and no amount of you telling her otherwise is going to stop her from doing what she wants.  Let it go.  I know you care about her but sometimes there is nothing you can do.  No use in making yourself sick and stressing yourself out over it.  You can only do so much, after that you just have to let go and move on.
