When Zola Tomic came into her mother’s room hemorrhaging blood, Brittani knew she needed to stay calm and get her daughter help. What happens next is unforgettable and incredible. This six-year-old talks to God during a near-death experience in the hospital.
Zola had gone in for a routine surgery to have her tonsils removed but no one ever could have known that she has a rare genetic disorder that made this surgery almost deadly. After surgery, Zola began to bleed and hemorrhage for nearly ten days before she had lost so much blood that she had almost died.
After Zola recovered and was sent home from the hospital. This sweet little girl began to heal and even thrive. One afternoon while Brittani was helping her get ready for gymnastics, Zola asked a strange and shocking question, Zola asked, “When can I go see God again?”
“It’s something even to this day that I still can’t even comprehend,” Brittani said. “I was getting her ready and, it wasn’t even like we were talking about anything God-related beforehand, we were just getting ready to go to gymnastics. And she just asked, ‘When can I see God again?’”
Her mom was confused and taken back by her question, so she asked Zola, “When did you see God?” Zola replied with the most stunning statement, “The night I died.”
Whoa! Is anyone else getting goosebumps and praising God?
Shocked, Brittani began to ask more questions and soon learned the night that Zola had been in the hospital, she had a near-death experience. Brittani recalls that Zola never flatlined or needed to be resuscitated. But Zola had come close enough to dying that Jesus had walked hand in hand with her through the ordeal. God can come to comfort her and tell her she was safe and loved.
Over time, Zola began to talk more and more about being with Jesus. She told her mother that she remembers God giving her a big hug. Zola said everything looked like a rainbow and Jesus had thanked her for loving him and being his friend.
