Massa, who suffered serious head injuries in a qualifying crash at the Hungarian Grand Prix, is set to be sidelined for at least four races, with test driver Luca Badoer now drafted in for the next grand prix in Valencia next week.
But when asked by a reporter if he would consider taking Massa's place if his injuries healed, the 40-year-old gave a downbeat assessment.
"It's probably the toughest moment I have had in my career," he said.
"Although I am a retired racing driver, for the moment I felt back alive and now I have had to cancel all this, so I am not thinking about the future," he added.
Schumacher sat between his doctor Johannes Peil and manager Willi Weber at the gathering in Geneva and announced that it was a "very sad moment" before going on to thank the Ferrari team for their support after he decided to attempt a comeback.
It turned out to be in vain, as injuries he sustained in a motorcycle race in February left Schumacher struggling when he test drove in a 2007 Ferrari at Mugello.
Peil confirmed that a small fracture at the base of Schumacher's skull had caused the problem and led to his decision on Tuesday to call off the comeback.

"I really tried everything to make that temporary comeback possible, however, much to my regret it didn't work out," he told his personal Web site www.michaelschumacher.de.
"I can only repeat that I tried everything that was within my power. All I can do now is to keep my fingers crossed for the whole team for the coming races."
