Sie warf einen sprechenden Blick zum Himmel und sank dann, wie halb ohnmächtig, in den Lehnsessel zurück.

She glanced expressively heavenward and then, as if half unconscious,  sank back into the armchair.

Discussion

Agree with Wendy:
She was casting her eyes to the heavens (as if in prayer) and then, almost fainting, she sank back..?

I wonder Tom, if perhaps 'meaningfully' would be better here than 'expressive'.
Suggestion: 'She cast a meaningful glance heavenward'
