My point is that her words may just mean, "I'm so very very unhappy." That is still a problem, but not quite as bad as an actual suicidal intention would be. Pay attention and do something, but try not to panic.
Were her statements general, like "Oh, I wish I were dead," or "Life isn't worth living."? Or was she more specific, saying things like, "I'm going to save up my meds and take enough to kill myself"?
What stage is she in? Do you have a doctor who specifically deals with her dementia? Have you talked to that doctor about this?
My heart goes out to you.
