When you hamster is hurt or sick, it usually has something unusual going on about it and acts lethargic (unactive). If it's hurt it could also act weird. If it shows signs of being sick, look for symptoms and look up in a book or the internet to see what could be wrong.
Here's a website with a list of hamster sicknesses:

∙ 9y agoHamsters try their best to hide signs of sickness as much as they possibly can. However, there are some telltale signs that a hamster is suffering, such as not eating, drinking too much or not at all, a wet tail, diarrhea, fast breathing, or just acting out of character. Take the hamster to a vet immediately if it is suspected that he is ill.

Yes, your hamster is likely dying. Two years, though not much time for is, is almost a complete life for a hamster. If she is not in any pain, then just enjoy the time you have left. If she does seem to be in pain, I would recommend visiting the vet. Blessings.
