While talking to his housemates about how he dreamt of his son, he said he was not able to grieve the loss properly.
"You know what that's from, though? I didn't get to grieve properly, I don't think, when my son passed away, He kept saying, 'Snatch the rainbow, Daddy.' When he passed away, he couldn't talk. He could just talk with his eyes."

Odom wishes to see his son in the afterlife as he continued saying,
"He was a really special baby; 2006 would've made him, right now, I think 15 or 14 years old. There's just something I don't think I'd ever get over. But him coming to me in a dream lets me know that he's not too far away. And I know I'll see him in an afterlife."
Todd Bridges, Odom's Celebrity Big Brother housemate, reacted to the former NBA star's unimaginable loss by saying,
"Hearing Lamar that he lost a kid has to be the biggest thing that someone has to deal with, and my heart goes out to Lamar because he's dealt with so much stuff."
Liza Morales, Odom's ex-wife, slipped into severe depression after her son's sudden death. The couple also split shortly after Jayden's death. In addition to Jayden, the couple are parents to two other children, Destiny and Lamar Jr.
